About this ebook
John Dunmore
John Dunmore, CNZM, DLitt, Fellow of the Royal Society of NZ, and holder of two of France’s most prestigious awards, the Chevalier de la Legion d’honneur and the Ordre des Palmes Académiques, has written over 30 books in his stellar career as a Pacific historian. Now in his nineties, this is his second book for Upstart Press. Chasing a Dream: the search for the imaginary Pacific (Upstart, 2016) is John Dunmore’s highly readable account of mankind’s obsession with what lay on the “other side” of the world, and how a few brave souls from different nations doggedly pursued the dream of finding fame and wealth through the discovery of the Great Southern Continent.
