ROUND ABOUT THE EARTH Circumnavigation from Magellan to Orbit

by | Read by Joyce Bean

History • 20 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2012

A history of global circumnavigation must include Ferdinand Magellan and Sir Francis Drake, but modern-day traveler Michael Palin also is featured in Chaplin's book. Narrator Joyce Bean has a hardiness and adventurousness in her voice--with a hint of wry humor--that cover the "geo-drama" of world travel well. The history is interesting enough when it deals with well-known voyagers like Magellan, and it gets even better as it goes off the map, covering territory like board games and bicycle tours. With visits to the fiction of Jonathan Swift and Jules Verne, Chaplin's work creates a romantic picture of circumnavigation that may inspire listeners to dream about global trips themselves.
