in human history. With wild animals, geographical
hazards and widespread disease to contend with,
it was a risky game.Such an exploration begins

1500s. Later we meet Mungo Park, Ledyard, the
American, James Bruce and Ren233Cailli233

most distinguished writings in the field of
travel and exploration.Tim Severin, author of

Antilles, was educated at Oxford. He has
collaborated on BBC TV programs on exploration
and is a regular reviewer for the Washington
