Cherry-Garrard - The worst journey in the world
De achterflap:
A gripping story of courage and achievement. Only the writings
of T.E. Lawrence, Sir Richard Burton, and Ernest Shackleton
rank with this harrowing memoir. Cherry-Garrard, who accompanied
Robert Falcon Scott to the Antarctic on the explorer's doomed
quest for the South Pole, recounts the unforgettable journey
across forbidding, inhospitable terrain. He was also a member
of the search party that ultimately discovered Scott's frozen
body along with his last notebook entries.
With an introduction by the author, this tale of adventure
stands out as a literary accomplishment as well as a classic
of exploration.
