Book Descriptions:
Este volumen compila fragmentos de diez diarios de viaje escritos por los integrantes de las primeras flotas que con destino a Botany Bay, Australia, zarparon de Gran Bretaña entre 1787 y 1791, con el objetivo de fundar y mantener una colonia penal en ese territorio. Se han seleccionado aquellos pasajes que recogen las experiencias y observaciones realizadas por sus autores durante las sucesivas escalas en el puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Siete de los textos seleccionados se publican por primera vez en castellano en esta oportunidad.
Un estudio introductorio aporta las causas y consecuencias de esta empresa, así como sus pormenores. También incluye breves fragmentos de otros diarios y una biografía crítica de los autores compilados.
A la Primera Flota corresponden los diarios de Arthur Phillip, comandante de la misma y primer gobernador de los territorios de Nueva Gales del Sur; John Hunter, segundo capitán del HMS Sirius; Philip Gidley King, subteniente del HMS Sirius; Watkin Tench, capitán de la infantería de marina; John White, cirujano jefe de la expedición; David Collins, capitán de la infantería de marina; y William Bradley, primer teniente del HMS Sirius. De la Tercera Flota contamos con una crónica de la subida al Teide del teniente Peter Rye; la «autobiografía» de George Barrington; y, finalmente, el diario de Mary Ann Parker, esposa del capitán John Parker, al que acompaña a bordo del HMS Gorgon.
