Softcover. Condizione: As New. "Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time that has ever been devised," wrote Apsley Cherry-Garrard in a deceptively jaunty introduction to this classic story of bravery and fortitude first published in 1922. The story he relates is of Scott's last expedition to the Antarctic, from its departure from England in 1910 to its arrival in New Zealand in 1913; it is one of the most famous and tragic in the annals of exploration. Driven by an obsession for scientific knowledge, these brave polar explorers embarked on a journey into the unknown, testing their endurance by pushing themselves to the ultimate physical and mental limits as they surveyed the striking and mammoth land that lies far to the south.Cherry-Garrard was himself a member of the expedition that had two goals: to discover as much as was scientifically possible about the terrain and habitat of Antarctica, and to be the first to reach the South Pole. The party was plagued by bad luck, weather conditions of unanticipated ferocity, and the physical deterioration of the party on the last part of the journey. Confronted by the shattering knowledge that Roald Amundsen had reached the South Pole a month before them, Scott's party then had to negotiate the last, heroic part of their journey, a doomed attempt which has entered modern mythology.The Worst Journey in the World is the inside story of this most famous of journeys and is truly one of the best and most moving books of travel ever written. Join Scott's expedition as he and his team venture deep into the frozen unknown.

Originally published in hardback in the UK as "Land Benighted" in 1938 by Geoffrey Bles. ***A very good copy in illustrated card covers.

No foxing. ***205 pages. 197mm x 129mm. ***'It had been Graham Greene's idea to explore tropical West Africa. The map of Liberia was virtually blank, the interior marked "Cannibals". It was a far cry from the literary London of 1935, and the marvellous result of the exploration was "Journey Without Maps". But the gifted young author was not travelling alone. His twenty-three-year-old cousin Barbara had rashly agreed to go with him and, unbeknown to him, was also busy making notes in the jungle. "Too Late to Turn Back" contains the humorous, foot-sore and richly evocative African adventure of a young woman who set out from the world of Saki and the Savoy Grill and returned quite profoundly changed.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***'Barbara Greene (1907-1991) was born in Brazil of an English father and a German mother, and educated at Sidcot School in Somerset. After her expedition to Liberia, she married Count Rudolf Strachwitz, later German Ambassador to the Vatican. She published several books, and had two children and five grandchildren, and came to divide her time between Bavaria and the island of Gozo, Malta, where she devoted her time to helping the handicapped.' (Daunt Books Publishing) ***First printing of the first paperback edition of this interesting travel book by Barbara Greene, cousin of Graham Greene, in very good original condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
