Dit boek (hardcover) is onderdeel van de TREDITION CLASSICS serie.
De makers van deze serie zijn verbonden door hun passie voor
literatuur en gedreven met de bedoeling om alle publieke domein
boeken weer gedrukte vorm beschikbaar te maken - wereldwijd. De
meeste geprinte TREDITION CLASSICS titels zijn al decennia
verdwenen uit de boekenkasten. Bij tredition geloven wij dat een
goed boek nooit uit de mode is en dat zijn waarde voor eeuwig is.
Deze boeken serie helpt bij het behouden van de literatuur
schatten. Het draagt bij in het behouden van prachtige
wereldliteratuur werken.
Ernest Shackleton sailed to the South Pole as the First World War
broke out in Europe, intent on making the first ever
trans-Antarctic crossing. South! is Shackleton's first-hand account
of the epic expedition, which he described as 'the last great
journey on earth'. During the journey their ship, the Endurance,
became trapped by ice and was crushed, forcing the men to survive
in and escape from one of the world's most hostile environments.
With no hope of rescue, Shackleton and four others set sail in a
small open boat on a 600-mile crossing to South Georgia.
Shipwrecked on the uninhabited side of the island, they were forced
into making the first ever winter crossing of the island, all the
time threatened by brutal cold and hunger. South! made Shackleton's
name as an explorer. The dramatic story, one of the most
astonishing feats of Polar escapology, remains as enthralling now
as when it was first published in 1919. Stanfords Travel Classics
feature some of the finest historical travel writing in the English
language, with authors hailing from both sides of the Atlantic.
Every title has been reset in a contemporary typeface to create a
series that every lover of fine travel literature will want to
collect and keep.
