Written by Arthur van Schendel Toward the end of the sixteenth century, the Dutch were midway in their 80-year war of independence with Spain, and their overseas trading and coloni al explorations were a vital part of that process. This historical novel - translated from ‘Jan Compagnie’ - provides a vivid account of experiences during the early years of the Dutch East Indies Company VOC and presents a fascinating portrayal of perils at sea and of the spice islands in the archipelago that the Dutch discovered. This title is part of series on the former Dutch East Indies and that was edited by Prof. E.M. Beekman. Hardcover, 190 pages, notes, A general Dutch Heritage title Show more
