Andrea Wulf: The Traveller

Step into the shoes of the most consequential man you’ve maybe never heard of.

Award-winning historian Andrea Wulf talks to Fiammetta Rocco about The Traveller: The Revolutionary Life of George Forster and his Search for Humanity, recounting the young naturalist who journeyed to the far reaches of the known world on Captain Cook’s second voyage.

A visionary proto-activist, his travels inspired radical ideas about humanity, equality, and freedom at odds with the worldviews of his time.
