| Summary | "Meine erste Weltreise" by James Cook is a historical account written in the 18th century. The work chronicles Captain Cook’s first expedition, during which he navigates uncharted territories, encounters diverse cultures, and fulfills the scientific mission to observe the transit of Venus in the South Pacific. The narrative primarily revolves around Cook's experiences, observations of indigenous peoples, and the unfolding events during the voyage. At the start of the expedition, Cook receives his orders from the Royal Society in London to command the Endeavour ship. He recounts the difficult early days of the journey, including an unfortunate accident that leads to the drowning of a crew member and the ship's early navigations along the coasts of Brazil and Tierra del Fuego. Cook describes the rituals and lifestyles of the indigenous populations they encounter, setting the tone for a journey filled with exploration, discovery, and the complexities of cross-cultural interactions. Through vivid accounts, he introduces readers to the inhabitants and natural wonders of places like Tahiti, igniting a sense of adventure and curiosity about the world beyond European borders.
