Acerca de esta escucha

Joshua Slocum was believed to be the first man to sail single-handed around the world. After a distinguished career, where he worked his way up from cabin boy to captain, Joshua Slocum wrecked his ship off the coast of Brazil. Turning this catastrophe to his advantage, he built a sailing canoe from the wreckage and sailed back to New York. Moreover, he wrote Voyage of the Liberdad, a chronicle of his trip, and earned some literary success. This was the spur to attempt his perilous voyage alone around the world.

Having lost his fortune in the shipwreck, Slocum began his adventure nearly penniless. He was given the Spray, a century old oyster boat that "wants some repairs". Two years and $500 later he had rebuilt the wreck into an oceangoing wonder.

On his 40,000 mile, three year voyage, Slocum visited six of the seven continents where he met cannibals, presidents, outlaws, and ambassadors. Amazingly, throughout he lived 'off the land' as it were, fishing, trading, and giving lectures to keep his pantry full. He also met some remarkable people including Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Kruger, who, believing the world was flat, warned Slocum not to fall off! This adventure will captivate sailors and landlubbers alike.

Good narration, pronunciation, pacing, and overall storyline. I recommend this book. The writer has a good sense of humor and is humble.

Great story and well told!

A unique view of a period, long ago, when a solo effort had NONE of any modern aids or communications.

A lesser known early solo

The book is very interesting.
The narration seems to be very good but
the quality of recording is some how pure.

Interesting book in bad quality

Better narrator in the version

Slocum’s book has long been a favorite of mine. His reputation as a sailor asking no quarter from the sea, has provided me with an example to follow during my career on power boats.

And now to the print version of the tale, I can add the fantastic narrated version by Alan Sklar as worthy of the tale. Fantastic and so lively, it held my interest for the two days it took to hear it all.

Totally recommend this title to your listening. An adventure described by a modest and capable sailor, brought to life by a great voice.

What a pleasure!

As a sailor, I really loved this book. It was a departure from the sci-fi that I normally read or listen to, but I loved every minute of it. The narration is great and the story is epic. I got so intrigued with the story, I went to Google Earth to try to follow the route and was thrilled to discover an app that shows the entire course around the world, along with quotes from the book. If you want to get the most from the book, I'd suggest you do this as well.

A wonderful adventure!
