Beneath the Shadow: CRUX: The Georgia Series in Literary Nonfiction
Autor Justin Gardineren Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2019
Beneath the Shadow is centered on journal excerpts by eight famous explorers, which Gardiner uses as touchstones for modern-day experiences of harsh seas, chance encounters, rugged terrain, and unspeakable beauty. With equal parts levity and lyricism, Gardiner navigates the distance between the historical and the contemporary, the artistic and the scientific, the heroic and the mundane. The bold and tragic tales of Antarctic explorers have long held our collective imagination--almost as much as the mythically remote land such explorers ventured to--and this book makes those voices come to life as few ever have.

Descriere
In February 2010, with the help of a friend, Justin Gardiner boarded a ship bound for Antarctica. A stowaway of sorts, Gardiner used his experiences as the narrative backdrop for this compelling firsthand account that breathes new life into the nineteenth-century journals of Antarctic explorers such as Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton.
