| description | From the icy wastes of the arctic to the depths of the jungle, thirty-eight extraordinary, exotic, and often heart-breaking stories from the explorers who pitted their strength and wits against the perils of the natural world. The human imagination has never been so inspired as by the deeds of the great explorers. These sagas of human endeavour which once hogged the headlines of the world press have entered popular mythology and continue to fascinate and excite today. To read the first-hand narratives from such pioneers as younghusband in asia, livingstone and stanley in africa, cook in australia, and the last desperate journals of scott of the antarctic is to understand some of the ambition and idealism behind the most amazing feats of endurance. |
