Magnificent ... Huntford has done justice to this great and complex man. That, in itself, is a triumph

Synopsis
Ernest Shackleton was the quintessential Edwardian hero. A contemporary - and adversary - of Scott, he sailed on the 'Discovery' expedition of 1900, and went on to mount three expeditions of his own. Like Scott, he was a social adventurer; snow and ice held no particular attraction, but the pursuit of wealth, fame and power did. Yet Shackleton, and Anglo-Irishman who left school at 16, needed status to raise money for his own expeditions. At various times he was involved in journalism, politics, manufacturing and City fortune-hunting - none of them very effectively. A frustrated poet, he was never to be successful with money, but he did succeed in marrying it. At his height he was feted as a national hero, knighted by Edward VII, and granted £20,000 by the government for achievements which were, and remain, the very stuff of legend. But the world to which he returned in 1917 after the sensational 'Endurance' expedition did not seem to welcome surviving heroes. Poverty-stricken by the end of the war, he had to pay off his debts through writing and endless lecturing. He finally obtained funds for another expedition, but dies of a heart attack, aged only 47, at it reached South Georgia., Ernest Shackleton was the quintessential Edwardian hero.

- n***e (66)- Opinie wystawione przez kupującego.Ostatni miesiącZakup potwierdzonyMy book came as described, earlier than expected. Very happy with my purchase.
- c***s (95)- Opinie wystawione przez kupującego.Ostatni miesiącZakup potwierdzonyIf you love cats, and happen to love ukiyo-e prints, this is an excellent reference to the finest Edo-era neko woodblock prints. Japan has a loving and close relationship with cats and it is evident in the beautiful prints with cats, typically with a bijin, and they are how the word describes. It's more than a book and focuses on giving the reader a colourful reprint without being anchored by text nearby. A very good value to appreciate one's passion for Japanese print images of thier beloved.
