Pressezitat
“Fresh, unstudied, and spectacularly observant, it ranks with many of the better known classics.” —The Age (Melbourne)“A knockout . . . Nicol is a sunny, charming, highly observant guide and a first-rate storyteller. . . . His life was hard and dangerous—bad food, storms, hostile natives, pirates, war, separations, poverty, sickness—but he never grew bitter or cynical, even when press-ganged into the navy or hiding out from its agents, and always did his best for king and country.” —The Sydney Morning Herald
“If Nicol didn’t really exist, surely Voltaire or Swift would have had to invent him. As the wide-eyed ship’s cooper travels the globe, observing and absorbing, he brings to mind an errant Candide or Gulliver sent into the world to comment on its foibles and our misperceptions about people and their inclinations. . . . Wonderfully real.” —Jeff Turrentine, Forbes FYI
“A remarkable memoir . . . A gem worth far more than its weight in gold doubloons.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
