But for four German soldiers, caught in Rumania between the impassable Carpathian mountains andthe victorious Russian army, there would be no celebration - only the blind fear of those without hope, who expect no mercy. Half-starved, half-wild, they lived like wolves, ruthlessly hunted by the Russians. Neither the Rumanian partisans nor their own cunning could save them. Though the war ended, the Russians stayed.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. 191 pages. Plates throughout. In 1962 eight Swiss mountaineers formed the Swiss Spitsbergen Expedition. Their plan was to climb on the northern part of that Arctic island, in mostly unexplored territory. Instead of using sled dogs, they used skis on the long approaches to the mountains and covered 1,250 miles altogether. Hugo Nunlist was with that expedition and relates here their adventures. Climbing in teams, they conquered many new peaks, and produced much valuable cartographical material.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Jacques Roubille (illustratore). 1st Edition. First American Edition ('First published in U.S.A in 1962' ). I don't usually list books at prices higher than the competition, but I'm fairly confident that this book is in better condition than the others. Note also that the Pitman condition was first published in 1962 not 1956 as some sellers are referencing. The copyright page clearly states that the 1956 publishing was the French edition in Paris. There was a Phoenix House edition published in England in 1961 and then this First American by Pitman in 1962. You can see the green covers in the photos. They're perfectly clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The cover edges and corners are in the top-notch shape, with no rubbing. The spine ends look very good. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover. There are no cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages or between the covers and any of the pages. The covers are nicely, tightly bound. The interior of the book is in very good condition. The text pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I haven't found any instances of soiling. There are no turned-down corners, no placeholder creases. There is a skinny little crease off the top edge of the last few pages, not much of anything. The only imperfection I can find is some light amber spotting on the blank front end paper and on the two blank rear end papers. I'm also just noticing that there's some amber spotting on the white margin of the last text page, page 150. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. There are 19 full-page illustrations, some are in color. 6 are double-page. In addition there are four pages of drawings of Sails and Rigs. All of the illustrations are in excellent shape. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is very clean. It has only one edge tear, a thin one off the front bottom edge. There is also a little crease just off the bottom edge of the spine, and tiny spots of rubbing at the four corners. The flaps are in very solid shape. There is a thin line of toning off the top edge of the front flap, also a handful of tiny amber spots. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'To please five thousand miles or more of the great ocean in a small boat, often only big enough for one person, sounds a risky, even an insane, adventure. But over the last fifty years many 'madmen' have dared to make the crossing of the Atlantic alone or with one companion, by sail, by motor-boat, even by kayak and rowing-boat! Here is an account, based on fact, of these crossings. The narrators are two marriners, one of Breton and one of Welsh stock. The crossings are facts, the reasons many-- scientific, for fame, for bets or money, or from sheer bravado. The stories are all well documented and there are drawings of variously rigged sailing vessels. This defiance of major natural forces makes the story thrilling, and the Compass of melodrama is boxed. Many adults will read this book for older boys and be moved by the 'guts' shown by the 'madmen of the Atlantic'. '.
