Beschreibung:
In one of history's most audacious hoaxes, a mysterious George Psalmanazar arrived in England in 1702 claiming to be a native of the island of Formosa. His An Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa, published two years later, was a sensation, and the author became a minor celebrity, giving lectures to large audiences, speaking before the Royal Geographical Society, and receiving an invitation to teach the "Formosan" language at Oxford (a language he had invented himself, and samples of which are given in his book).
