Résumé : "A New Voyage Round The World By A Course Never Sailed Before" by Daniel Defoe is a narrative that explores the ambitious journey of a group of merchants who set out to establish an East India Company in Flanders. The voyage, which begins in 1713, is marked by a series of strategic decisions and unexpected challenges. The merchants, under the guise of French traders, navigate through political and economic landscapes, aiming to capitalize on the lucrative trade routes of the South Seas and the East Indies. The narrative delves into the intricacies of maritime trade, the complexities of international relations, and the personal dynamics among the crew. As the voyage progresses, the crew faces internal dissent, leading to a potential mutiny. The captain, along with his trusted officers, must navigate not only the physical challenges of the sea but also the interpersonal conflicts that threaten the success of their mission. Defoe's work is a rich tapestry of adventure, commerce, and human resilience, offering insights into the early 18th-century maritime world.
