"Les grands navigateurs du XVIIIe siècle" by Jules Verne is the second volume of a three-part popular science work published in 1879. Written with French geographer Gabriel Marcel, this volume chronicles the great eighteenth-century navigators and explorers who mapped the world's oceans and continents. The work traces voyages from early astronomers and cartographers through Captain Cook's expeditions, French maritime explorers, and adventurers who ventured into Africa, Asia, and the Americas during an age of unprecedented discovery.
