Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail for the South Atlantic on board a ship called the Endurance. The object of the expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland. In October 1915, still half a continent away from their intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in ice.

This is the story of how they survived.

'One of the most harrowing survival stories of all time' SEBASTIAN JUNGER

Discover the truth about Endurance in Alfred Lansing's superb account of exploration, shipwreck, storms and survival on the high seas - widely regarded as one of the greatest adventure stories ever told.

After their ship was claimed by the Antarctic seas, Shackleton and his men drifted on ice packs for months, castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. The threats they faced were legion: cold, exposure, disease and attacks from vicious sea leopards. Yet as Lansing shows, in his account drawn from first-hand accounts by crew members and interviews with the expedition's survivors, the men's collective spirit was indefatigable; their civility to one another never dimmed by 17 months on the Antarctic ice.

'One of the most remarkable tales of human courage and determination. The story is gripping and the book is a classic of its kind' SIR RANULPH FIENNES
