Fairly easy to read. "A Voyage Towards the South Pole and Round the World, Volume 1" by James Cook is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The narrative chronicles Cook's ambitious journey aboard the ships Resolution and Adventure as they explore the Southern Hemisphere and the South Pacific Ocean, specifically in search of a Southern continent that had intrigued geographers and navigators for years. At the start of the journey, Cook details the preparations and events leading up to the expedition, including the equipment of the ships, their roster of officers and men, and their departure from England. The narrative captures various incidents during the initial leg of the journey, such as stops at Madeira and St. Jago, the weather conditions faced, observations made during navigation, and the operations of ensuring the health and safety of the crew. Cook's approach is marked by a scientific inquiry into natural history, geography, and the interactions with indigenous populations encountered along the way, setting the stage for an extensive exploration filled with adventure and discovery.
