To do this, it was necessary to sail a sea-going ship made of papyrus reeds-a type of ship not built for over a thousand years, if ever across the breadth of the Atlantic. Scientific authorities and nautical experts alike derided the project as an impossible dream. This is the incredibly gripping saga of how Thor Heyerdahl and his extraordinary crew overcame every obstacle, including shipwreck, to make that dream come true.This book takes its place among the very greatest epics in the annals of man vs. the sea. Heyerdahl is the adventurer supreme. His book has a quality that sweeps it along as inexorably as the ocean currents which Heyerdahl believes were the conveyor belts of world culture. Anyone who enjoyed the thrills of KON-TIKI will take pleasure in the cruise of the paper boat.The book you see in the image is the actual book we have for sale.

The Longest Years is a vivid rendering of childhood memories into an autobiographical novel. Through the young Norwegian girl Ingvild, the author conveys the veritable cornucopia of original experiences in the life of a child: the sights, sounds, and smells; the beginnings of thought and the acute pangs of suffering; and the pure privilege of innocence. Avoiding altogether any attempt to modify, let alone interpret, the memories of Ingvild, the author sets forth the organic sprawling verity of a child's world and its rootedness in what Hopkins called the "dearest freshness deep down things." A clean very presentable copy.…
