Where the Earth Ends (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

John Harrison's great grandfather and grandfather sailed the Horn, in steam and diesel, out of Liverpool. John was the first generation not to sail the Horn or fight a war. Instead, he would go to the end of the world, beyond Patagonia, to Tierra del Fuego, find lost tribes, sail the waters of Coleridge's albatross and sit on Robinson Crusoe's imaginary shore. 'A fascinating book of insight, scholarship and adventurous travel, fired by childhood dreams perhaps, but fuelled by the skill of a writer from whom, I hope, we shall hear much more. Sunday Times His approach is thorough and his excitement contagious. The Independent on Sunday An inspiring blend of new-look, literary, post-Granta traveller and intrepid adventurer. A glorious roundtrip to desolation and romance.' The Scotsman
