Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Ralph Fitch, an English merchant who traveled to India and the Far East in the late 16th century. His journey was one of the first significant explorations of the East by an Englishman, and it played a pivotal role in the development of British trade with the region. The author delves into the political and religious climate of the time, examining the tension between England and Catholic Europe, and the growing prominence of English traders and explorers. The book also highlights the rise of England's maritime power and the challenges faced by English merchants in a world dominated by Spanish and Portuguese influence. Through Fitch's travels, the book provides a unique and fascinating account of the diverse cultures and societies of India and the Far East, including the Mughal Empire under Akbar. It reveals the resourcefulness and determination of early English explorers, their willingness to face danger and hardship in pursuit of trade and discovery, and their contributions to the burgeoning British Empire. This book offers a compelling glimpse into a pivotal era of exploration and expansion, highlighting the remarkable achievements of those who dared to venture beyond the known world, ultimately shaping the course of history.
