Description:
1742 History of PERSIA Revolutions Nader Shah Kouli Khan Iran MAP Middle East 2vJean-Antoine du Cerceau was a 17th-century French Jesuit poet whose works were quite popular amongst noble courts. He is best known for his poems, plays, and short stories, but he also wrote an important work on the history of the Persian revolutions and the reign of Qoli Khan, the Nader Shah. This work, which is also sometimes attributed to Andre Claustre, covers the history of Iran, Afghanistan, and Persia, religious and cultural customs, and Middle Eastern geography.
This book also discusses the reign of Qoli Khan himself, his corrupt power, and the revolts and assassination against him. Note the impressive folding map.

1787 Daniel Defoe Voyage Round the World English Colonization Robinson Crusoe 2v"It is never too late to be wise."
– Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe
Daniel Defoe was an English author who gained enduring fame for his novel, Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest practitioners of the novel and helped popularize the genre in Britain. In some texts he is even referred to as one of the founders, if not the founder, of the English novel.
While Robinson Crusoe is his best and most iconic work, he wrote numerous other works including another adventure voyage book called "A New Voyage Round the World". Certainly this work is nowhere near as popular or as well-known as 'Robinson Crusoe', it does show Defoe's interest in world travel and English colonization. According to Jane Jack,
"Colonization made a deep appeal to Defoe's imagination. To him, a colony was a symbol. It stood for his optimistic conception of human nature, representing his conception of the good life of… Read More
