A New Voyage Round the World in the Years 1823, 24, 25, and 26. Vol. 1 by Kotzebue
"A New Voyage Round the World in the Years 1823, 24, 25, and 26" by Otto von Kotzebue is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book documents the author's voyage as a captain in the Russian Imperial Navy, focusing on scientific exploration and maritime adventures during a time of increasing global exploration and trade. It likely covers various aspects of navigation, encounters with different cultures, and the challenges
faced at sea. The opening of the account introduces the reader to Kotzebue's preparations and motivations for the voyage, which was initially intended to be scientific but transformed into a naval mission to protect Russian interests in North America. The narrative begins with the outfitting of his ship and the details of his crew before recounting the emotions tied to departure, including his reflections on relationships, particularly the pain of leaving his wife. Early events highlight the mixed joys and adversities of sailing, including storms, humorous incidents aboard the ship, and the camaraderie among the crew, setting the stage for the challenges and discoveries that will follow in the remainder of his travels.
