Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Fair. David Crane has given us the definitive biography of one of Britain's greatest heroes and explorers. 'It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more!For God's sake look after our people.' These were the final words written in Scott's diary on 29 March 1912, as he lay dying in his tent with Birdie Bowers and Edward Wilson. Oates had taken himself into a blizzard a few days before, and the fifth member of the Polar party, Edgar Evans, had died some ten days previously, worn out by the cold and physical effort of the journey across Antarctica. Since then Scott has been the subject of many books -- many hagiographical, others dismissive and scathing. Yet in all the pages that have been written about him, the personality behind the legend has been forgotten or distorted beyond all recognition. David Crane's magisterial biography, based on years of close and detailed research with the original documents, redresses this completely. By reassessing Scott's life and his substantial scientific achievements, Crane is able to provide a fresh and exciting perspective on both the Discovery expedition of 1901-4 and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910-12. The courage and tragedy of Scott's last journey are only one part of the process, for the scientific enquiry that led up to it transformed the whole nature and ambition of Antarctic exploration. Scott's own voice echoes through the pages. His descriptions of the monumental landscape of Antarctica in all its fatal and icy beauty are breathtaking; his honest, heartfelt letters and diaries give the reader an unforgettable account of the challenges he faced both in his personal life and as a superlative leader of men in possibly the harshest environment on the planet. Written with the full support of Scott's surviving relatives, and with access to the voluminous diaries and records of key participants, including admiring scientists, this definitive biography sets out to reconcile the very private struggles of the man with the very public life of extremes that he led. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001563575

Description du livre 196 x 127 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (xiv) + 637, incl. index, + (i) + 32; plates; maps; facsimiles; photographs. Occasional minor fox spot. Very good condition. "Lionised by the British public as the embodiment of selfless heroism and chivalry, Captain Scott's achievements in the field of exploration have spawned countless books. But in all the pages written about him the personality behind the legend has been distorted beyond all recognition. David Crane's fresh and exciting biography redresses this imbalance by allowing Scott's voice to echo through its pages. Whether describing the monumental landscape of Antarctica in all its fatal, icy beauty, or giving an account of the challenges he faced in his personal life through his heartfelt letters and diaries, Scott emerges from this definitive biography as an extraordinary figure, a superlative leader of men in possibly the harshest environment on the planet.".
