鈥淔ew books send forth such a tangy breeze of salt air.鈥 –Oceanography聽As the first person to circumnavigate the globe alone, Captain Joshua Slocum is celebrated as the 鈥減atron saint of small-boat voyagers, navigators, and adventurers all over the world鈥 (Joshua Slocum Society), and heralded as the penultimate example of independent marine navigation at a time when the invention of steam had nearly put an end to the Golden Age of Sail. His timeless account, Sailing Alone Around the World, still coveted by sailors and thrill-seekers alike, has continued to inspire scores of lone adventurers, and challenged countless readers to change their lives since its initial publication in 1900.聽Much more than your typical sailor’s yarn, Slocum’s journey features unrivaled descriptions of gargantuan waves, ferocious winds, and mesmerizing cultural encounters. In Sailing Alone Around the World, Captain Slocum and his 鈥渨holesome and noble鈥 ship, Spray, ultimately discover that a life truly lived is on the sea.聽This new edition features the original illustrations by Thomas Fogarty and George Varian.(2012010
