| Publisher Description: As one of the original crew members of Magellan's famous journey circumnavigating the globe, Pigafetta took detailed notes on the geography, climate, flora, fauna, people, and places he visited. This work compiles his findings and describes his adventures at sea. Despite early differences, Pigafetta won Magellan's confidence and remained with him until the captain died in battle. Pigafetta was injured in the same battle, but healed and eventually returned to Cadiz. He died 12 years later and this work was published posthumously after another two years. |
