Knopf The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition

The book came in very good condition with a nice brown covering, as shown in the pictures above. The only downside was that there was a slight indent in the bottom right corner of the paper covering, as can be seen in the third image included above. Otherwise, the quality was perfect.The pages are thick and slightly glossy. The book includes a number of pictures, almost all taken by the voyage’s photographer Frank Hurley. These images are high quality and placed perfectly to add to the story’s progression.As for the story itself, it is an incredible and true tale that will captivate your imagination. The narration is largely based off the diaries of those on the expedition - most notably that of Ernest Shackleton. It is easy reading and yet incredibly detailed.I would certainly recommend this product to those looking to gift a book for dad, brother, or anyone who enjoys reading.

This is one of my favorite books of all time. Just an incredible story about an exploration trip that got into serious trouble but through the incredible leadership and determination of the crew all of them made it home. A photographer was brought on the trip, an incredible feat itself given the load, so the book is not only an incredible story but has pictures throughout. This is an inspirational book about taking risks, preserving during hard times and determination to solve the problem that confronts one.

Stunning condition paperback. Lovely quality. One of the best adventure stories there is. Superbly written. Amazing photographs. Couldn't recommend enough!!

The book shows excellent pictures, 100 years old. Praise the photographer. The text uses different views, great.The voyage was useless, even if the goal had been reached. It did not result in new knowledge, in new cartography. All things were known. It was inhuman in collecting the sailors. It served only the own or national ego. For rescue, the public was asked.

Bellísima edición, es un libro de arte espectacular
