About the book

Antonio Pigafetta's account of Magellan's voyage is the most important eyewitness narrative of the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe. Sailing with Ferdinand Magellan from 1519, Pigafetta records the Atlantic crossing, passage through the strait later named for Magellan, the Pacific voyage, encounters in the Philippines and the expedition's extraordinary return. His journal combines exploration, geography, ethnographic observation and the hardships of early modern seafaring.
