Prone to periods of extreme melancholy alternating with extreme activity, here was a liar who sometimes believed his own lies. Always driven, he was consumed with wonder as he paddled a canoe up the Orinoco. Ralegh was a man who pored over maps, asked dangerous questions of the world around him, and loved silk stockings. He had a hunger for life, a longing for death and a passion for words. Sir Walter Ralegh's life is romantic, irresistible and of central importance to early modern history. His death is a convoluted and contested tale of bargaining, failure, and betrayal. Through the Elizabethan golden age and Ralegh's famous adventures to the final act, Anna Beer presents his stranger-than-fiction life in all its richness.

Englishman Matthew Flinders and Frenchman Nicolas Baudin had been sent by their governments on the same quest: to explore the uncharted coast of the great south land and find out whether the west and east coasts, four thousand kilometres apart, were part of the same island. And so began the race to compile the definitive map of Australia.
