Endurance

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Experience “one of the best adventure books ever written” (Wall Street Journal) in this New York Times bestseller: the harrowing tale of British explorer Ernest Shackleton's 1914 attempt to reach the South Pole. In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the Endurance and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization. In Endurance, the definitive account of Ernest Shackleton's fateful trip, Alfred Lansing brilliantly narrates the harrowing and miraculous voyage that has defined heroism for the modern age.

"Beef?" said Pork. "Yes, Pork?" said Beef. "What's it like on the moon?" asked Pork. "I really don't know!" said Beef. "Then why don't we go there tomorrow and find out?" suggested Pork. "My! What an excellent idea!" agreed Beef. When these two inseparable friends put their simple heads together to concoct a means to fly to the moon, there's no telling what might happen. Splashing about in a tubful of frosting and rolling around in a pile of feathers are all part of the scheme, so whether or not their lunar escapade succeeds, the attempt is guaranteed to be entertaining, if not downright silly. In the tradition of best friends like Pooh and Piglet or Frog and Toad, Pork and Beef, who are perpetually polite but always amusing, prove that anything is possible, despite what Gloomy Clown says, in this wonderfully funny tale.
