True stories of endurance & survival

The Cloud Garden
The Cloud Garden
    The Darién Gap is a
    place of legend. The only
    break in the Pan-American
    highway, which runs from
    Alaska to the tip of
    South America, it is an
    almost impregnable strip
    of swamp, jungle and
    cloud forest between the
    vast landmasses of North
    and South America.
    Stories of abduction and
    murder there are rife and
    in recent years more
    people have successfully
    climbed Everest or
    trekked to the South Pole
    than have crossed the
    Darién Gap.

    In
    2000, Tom Hart Dyke, a
    young botanist, set off
    to Central America with
    one thing on his mind:
    orchids. He knew that in
    order to find the rare
    and beautiful species he
    so fervently admired, he
    would have to visit some
    of the most inhospitable
    places on earth.
    Unbeknown to Tom,
    another young explorer,
    Paul Winder, was
    backpacking through the
    area at the same time.
    Though he sometimes
    worked freelance in the
    City of London, Paul was
    a fearless and intrepid
    traveller, happier
    scaling volcanoes than
    lounging on beaches. In
    every bar and café along
    his route, rumours
    abounded of the Darién
    Gap

Anne Frank
Anne Frank
    Anne Frank's diary
    telling the story of her
    years in hiding from the
    Nazis has affected
    millions of people. But
    what was she like as a
    small girl, at home with
    her family and friends;
    at play and at school?
    And how did an ordinary
    little girl come to live
    such an extraordinary and
    tragically short life? In
    the first half of the
    book we meet Anne as a
    small child growing up
    with her family in
    Germany. Then we follow
    her flight to Holland to
    escape the Nazis; the
    German invasion and the
    gradual isolation, then
    outright persecution, of
    the Jewish population
    which forces the family
    into hiding; the years in
    the Secret Annex; and her
    last heart-breaking
    journey.

In The Land Of White Death: An Epic Story of Survival in the Siberian Arctic
In The Land Of White Death: An
Epic Story Of Survival In The
Siberian Arctic
    In 1912, six months
    after Scott and his men
    came to grief in
    Antarctica, the Russian
    navigator Valerian
    Albanov embarked on an
    expedition that would
    prove even more
    disastrous. In search of
    new Arctic hunting
    grounds, Albanov's ship,
    the Saint Anna, was
    frozen fast in the pack
    ice of the treacherous
    Kara Sea - a misfortune
    grievously compounded by
    an incompetent commander,
    the absence of crucial
    nautical charts,
    insufficient fuel, and
    inadequate provisions
    that left the crew weak
    and debilitated by
    scurvy. For nearly a year
    and a half, the
    twenty-five men and one
    woman aboard the Saint
    Anna endured terrible
    hardships and danger as
    the icebound ship drifted
    helplessly north.
    Convinced that the Saint
    Anna would never free
    herself from the ice,
    Albanov and thirteen
    crewmen left the ship in
    January 1914, hauling
    makeshift sledges and
    kayaks behind them across
    the frozen sea, hoping
    to reach the distant
    coast of Franz Josef
    Land. With only a
    shockingly inaccurate map
    to guide him, Albanov
    led his men on a 235-mile
    journey of continuous
    peril, enduring
    blizzards,
    disintegrating ice floes,
    attacks by polar bears
    and walrus, starvation,
    sickness, snowblindness,
    and mutiny. That any of
    the team survived is a
    wonder. That Albanov kept
    a diary of his ninety-day
    ordeal - a story that Jon
    Krakauer calls an
    'astounding, utterly
    compelling book', and
    David Roberts calls 'as
    lean and taut as a good
    thriller' - is nearly
    miraculous. First
    published in Russia in
    1917, Albanov's
    narrative is here
    translated into English
    for the first time.
    Haunting, suspenseful,
    and told with gripping
    detail, In the Land of
    White Death can now
    rightfully take its place
    among the classic
    writings of Nansen,
    Scott, Cherry-Garrard
    and Shackleton.
