Endurance

Shackleton's Incredible Voyage

De: Alfred Lansing

Narrado por: Tim Pigott-Smith

The year was 1915. Equipment and food supplies were totally inadequate. After battling its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice and located only a day's sail from its destination, the Endurance became locked inside an island of ice. Yet Ernest Shackleton enabled all 27 of his men to survive for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas - leadership without equal. This gripping account is based on contemporaneous diaries and interviews conducted by the author with these exceptional men.©1959 Alfred Lansing (P)2000 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the most gripping, suspenseful, intense stories anyone will ever read [or hear]." (Chicago Tribune)
"One of the greatest adventure stories of our time." (The New York Times Book Review)

When boats were made of wood, and men were made of steel.

First, the reader is very good with voice pitching to the moments in the book! Following the adventure of Shackleton and his crew aboard the Endurance and more, was utterly exhilarating and awe striking. Much more details and accomplishments than I had learned from any other documentary. What a feet to survive! If you like adventure and can appreciate the efforts of exploration, sailing and mountaineering this story is for you.

Absolutely Incredible True Story!!

An incredible journey

this is a story about an incredible journey undertaken by men in the early 20th century. this journey was to an Uncharted location in the world without the benefit of modern day electronic navigation equipment. this would be considered a dangerous Expedition in modern times let alone in an arrow where meals were cooked after they were hunted basic plain stoves. ecru of approximately 30 men undertake this adventure in each of them survived the 17-month ordeal despite one let down after another and their life being on the line minute after minute. an exciting book to listen to for anyone

Amazing story

Inspirational from beginning to ends. I knew the story but enjoyed this rendition which kept me on pins and needles.
