Great Mysteries of the Oceans. The Pacific Ocean. The Filibuster Sea
39.99 €
The story of the exploration and development of the vast expanses of the world's oceans is a story of courage, enterprise and perseverance. At the center of a large-scale plot by the popular French writer Georges Blon is Man and Sea in their diverse, complex, almost mystical relationship. All great seafarers were, in a sense, captives of the sea, which forever conquered their hearts. All of them, beginning with the ancient Vikings or Phoenicians, were obsessed with the sea, with the dream of new sea routes and unknown lands. On the great conquerors of the great oceans and tells the epic Georges Blon. In the new edition in Russian books from the series "Great Mysteries of the Oceans" ("The Great Hour of the Oceans") are illustrated with reproductions of paintings, engravings, maps, photographs - historical images, in one way or another related to the fascinating stories of Georges Blon. In addition, the books are provided with extensive reference material including maps, dictionaries of names, nautical terms, and names of ships and aircraft. The Pacific Ocean is the most vast body of water on Earth: it could easily contain all the continents and islands. It owes its idyllic name to Magellan, who was mesmerized by the peaceful nature of the glittering surface stretching to the horizon. Sometimes the Pacific Ocean truly deserves its name; sometimes it turns into an unbridled, destructive, and deadly element that only a desperate daredevil-or a madman-will dare to confront. In the third and final book of the series, the reader will find an epic story of conquering the vast expanses of the greatest of the oceans, as well as an exciting story about the famous pirates of the Caribbean - the "Flibuster Sea", whose names and legendary adventures, not forgotten to this day, for centuries glorified the masters of adventurous literature.
