Today it is difficult to imagine how mysterious and dangerous the ocean seemed to ancient sailors. They set off around the world, searching for magical islands and mysterious continents, risking their own lives and forever changing the lives of the indigenous inhabitants of the lands they discovered.
But what drove these people and how did they imagine the world “on the other side of the planet”? Perhaps somewhere beyond the ocean lies the Great Southern Continent, where the “antipodes” or “dogheads” live? Or are the famous islands of the biblical King Solomon, full of incredible riches, hidden there?
John Dunmore’s book “Chasing a Dream” is a short and vivid story about the discovery of the Pacific Ocean, as well as about the imaginary world of people whose courage, intelligence and desperation made the world understandable and allowed us to draw a modern map of the world.
Naval officers and daring pirates, sincere defenders of the Christian faith and mercenary traders, writers and scientists - they all made a significant contribution to the mastery of the Pacific Ocean and the debunking of numerous fictions that have captivated the human mind for many centuries.
For a wide range of readers.
