The Discovery of Guiana by Walter Raleigh
"The Discovery of Guiana" by Sir Walter Raleigh is a travel account written in 1596. Following his expedition to South America, Raleigh crafted this narrative to restore his standing with Queen Elizabeth I after a period of disgrace. The book blends factual observations with bold claims about El Dorado, a fabled golden empire. While Raleigh's journey yielded little tangible wealth, his literary skill transformed a failed expedition into a compelling tale that
would influence his fate for decades to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
