Zusammenfassung: | Georg Forster (1754-94) was in many ways self-taught and rarely had two cents to rub together, but he became one of the most dynamic figures of the Enlightenment: a brilliant writer, naturalist, explorer, illustrator, translator - and a revolutionary. Granted the extraordinary opportunity to sail around the world as part of Captain James Cook's fabled crew, Forster touched icebergs, walked the beaches of Tahiti, visited far-flung foreign nations, lived with purported cannibals, and crossed oceans and the equator. Forster recounted the journey in his 1777 book 'A Voyage Round the World', a work of travel and science that not only established Forster as one of the most accomplished stylists of the time - and led some to credit him as the inventor of the literary travel narrative - but also influenced other German trailblazers of scientific and literary writing, most notably Alexander von Humboldt. |

Georg Forster (1754-94) was in many ways self-taught and rarely had two cents to rub together, but he became one of the most dynamic figures of the Enlightenment: a brilliant writer, naturalist, explorer, illustrator, translator - and a revolutionary. Granted the extraordinary opportunity to sail around the world as part of Captain James Cook's fabled crew, Forster touched icebergs, walked the beaches of Tahiti, visited far-flung foreign nations, lived with purported cannibals, and crossed oceans and the equator. Forster recounted the journey in his 1777 book 'A Voyage Round the World', a work of travel and science that not only established Forster as one of the most accomplished stylists of the time - and led some to credit him as the inventor of the literary travel narrative - but also influenced other German trailblazers of scientific and literary writing, most notably Alexander von Humboldt.
