Product description
About the Book:-The author was a Dutchman who travelled to the East-Indias from 1619 to 1625. His East Indian voyage was one of the most popular of the numerous adventure books in which the Dutch seventeenth century public delighted. It appeared at Hoorn in 1646, more than twenty years after the events related; in the next few years over a dozen piratical editions were brought out in various Dutch towns. All through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it continued to be reprinted. The writer’s name became part of the Dutch language, and “een reis van Bontekoe” is still a common expression to denote a journey with more than its due share of accidents. This is a journey which took him to various places in the Indonesian Island, Macau, China, and Taiwan. Written in a light and lively style this book is the journal kept by him during his journey. That time being the Java of the spread of colonies, he was witness to a fair number of naval and land operation which he does not miss to describe. It contains a portrait and ten illustrations to delineate the subject properly. About the Author:-Willem Ysbrantsz Bontekoe was a skipper in the Dutch East India Company (VOC), who made only one voyage for the company (1618–1625). He became widely known because of the journal of his adventures that was published in 1646 under the title Journael ofte gedenckwaerdige beschrijvinge van de Oost-Indische reyse van Willem Ysbrantsz. Bontekoe van Hoorn, begrijpende veel wonderlijcke en gevaerlijcke saecken hem daer in wedervaren ("Journal or memorable description of the East Indian voyage of Willem Bontekoe from Hoorn, including many remarkable and dangerous things that happened to him there").In 1618 Bontekoe enlisted in the service of the Dutch East India Company. On a voyage to Java he was shipwrecked, along with part of his crew, and continued in a lifeboat. After a grueling journey, including an attack by hostile natives on Sumatra, they reached Batavia on Java. He was given a new command and an order to harass the Chinese coast.
