Transit of Venus: Travels in the Pacific
Julian Evans
The Pacific Ocean calls to mind a world of fabulous kingdoms and noble savages, guiltfreesex and gin-clear lagoons, and a perfect idleness fed by lush fruits and fish-rich seas. Ever since Captain Cook first went to Tahiti in 1769 to observe the transit of Venus acrossthe sun, this dream of the Pacific has not lost its force.
