The Trial of the Cannibal Dog: Captain Cook in the by Anne Salmond
ISBN: 9780141021331 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 544 PUBLICATION DATE: 27.08.2004 DIMENSIONS: 236mmX156mmX52mm 702grams
DESCRIPTION: In this rich and stylish description by New Zealand scholar Salmond, Cook's voyages take on a peculiar, dreamlike quality. Salmond's claim is that Cook was far more affected by his exposure to the Polynesian world than historians have thought. This book is fascinating as an incomparable travelogue filled with amazing stories - the sexual paradise of Tahiti, the 'discovery' of Hawaii, close relations with Maori, and Cook's tragic death on the beach in Hawaii.The 'trial' of the title followed a horrific incident in New Zealand's Queen Charlotte Sound when Maori killed and ate a boatload of Cook's men. Later, sailors caught a dog guzzling a pink remnant, put the dog on trial, then convicted, cooked and ate it.
