For thousands of years, man has sailed into battle, sailed for
rumored wealth, and sailed for pure adventure. And for nearly as
long, stories about the sea have entertained, intrigued, and
inspired readers. The Greatest Sailing Stories Ever Told brings
together some of the most compelling writing of the millennium.
Here is Peter Goss's wrenching narrative of incredible courage in
the world's most desolate ocean; Ernest Shackleton's understated
and awesome account of one of the most daring small-boat journeys
ever taken, where failure meant certain death for his
long-suffering crew. But sailing is much more than headlong dashes
into roaring seas. You'll also find William F. Buckley Jr. on
idyllic cruising; James Thurber on the arcane and often
impenetrable language of sailors; the legendary Joshua Slocum on
sailing alone around the world. The Greatest Sailing Stories Ever
Told is a treasure trove: tears, adrenaline, laughter, and
adventure abound. With contributions from: - James Thurber -William
F. Buckley Jr. - Ann Davison - Sterling Hayden - Ernest Shackleton
- Tristan Jones - Samuel Eliot Morrison - Joshua Slocum - E. B.
White - C. S. Forester - Cleveland Amory - Weston Martyr - Peter
Goss - David Kasanof
