Scott of the Antarctic: A Life of Courage and Tragedy
ISBN: 9781400031412 / Angielski / Miękka / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Historian David Crane, with full access to the explorer's papers, diaries, and expedition records, gives us an illuminating portrait of Robert Falcon Scott that is more nuanced and balanced than any we have had before.

Neither foolhardy dilettante, nor the last romantic champion of his age, Scott is presented as a man...

An American Robinson Crusoe
ISBN: 9781421800868 / Angielski / Twarda / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Theoretically, I have always agreed with the Quaker wife who reformed her husband - "Whither thou goest, I go also, Dicky dear." What thou doest, I do also, Dicky dear. So when, the year after our marriage, Nimrod announced that the mountain madness was again working in his blood, and that he must go West and take up the trail for his holiday, I tucked my summer-watering-place-and-Europe-flying-trip mind away (not without regret, I confess) and cautiously tried to acquire a new vocabulary and some new ideas. Of course, plenty of women have handled guns and have gone to the Rocky Mountains on...
