Thank you for viewing. This is Koji Taki's "The Last Voyage: Captain Cook Dies in Hawaii." [The Appeal of This Book] This is a historical non-fiction work by Koji Taki, a critic who has been active in a wide range of fields such as art, architecture, and philosophy. Why did the great explorer Captain Cook have to lose his life on his third voyage? This book vividly depicts the "encounter" between Western civilization and the native Hawaiian culture, and the decisive "misunderstanding" that arose there, while tracing Cook's footsteps. It is not just a biography, but also depicts the meaning of travel and the tension that arises when different cultures meet. It is a book that will deeply resonate with history lovers, as well as those interested in travelogues and human dramas. It is a substantial hardcover book with a list price of 3,500 yen, so it is recommended for those who want to enjoy reading at their leisure.
