Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condition: AS NEW COPY!. ANTARCTICAÂ ÂThis omnibus combines "Heart of the Antarctic" and "South", Sir Ernest Shackleton's personal accounts of his polar expeditions."Men go out into the void spaces of the world for various reasons. Some are actuated simply by a love of adventure, some have the keen thirst for scientific knowledge, and others again are drawn away from the trodden paths by the lure of 'little voices,' the mysterious fascination of the unknown. I think that in my own case it was a combination of these factors that determined me to try my fortune again in the frozen south."-Sir Ernest Shackleton.Heart of the AntarcticÂis the story of his expedition of 1907-09, part of his neverending quest to reach the South Pole. On this, his first expedition in sole charge, he came agonizingly close to achieving his dream. However, appalling weather conditions, together with the necessity of reaching his ship before it had to flee the advancing pack-ice, forced him to abandon his goal in a breathtaking race against time. With photographs taken on the expedition by Douglas Mawson, and numerous maps and diagrams, this is a fascinating record of one of the most daring feats of exploration of all time. This is the only complete edition available.SouthÂis Shackleton's account of a journey that began in August 1914 with high hopes of a first in exploration and ended two years later in another desperate struggle for survival, after the expedition's ship, theÂEndurance,Âwas first trapped in sea-ice, then crushed. Shackleton, with a handful of his party, braved the fury of the South Atlantic as they made their desperate 800-mile journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia aboard the James Caird. This small boat-just over twenty feet long-was pitted against the fury of the southern ocean. The survival of the entire expedition was hinged on this last gamble.pp.277 #240723 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

hardcover. 2021 First Edition Thus. New in original packaging. The Heart of the Antarctic - 1176pp, including hundreds of integrated images and photographs plus 14 colour plates, panoramas and 3 maps presented in a separate pocket. South 416pp, plus 57 plates of full-page photographs and 12 integrated full-page drawings and photographs, 1 map presented in a pocket in the binding case. All three volumes presented together in a cloth-covered slipcase lined with paper printed in silver with an image of the Endurance. All beautifully produced very closely matching the format and style of the First Editions. Commemorating the centenary of Ernest Shackleton's death, The Folio Society brings together The Heart of the Antarctic and South thrilling accounts of his greatest polar expeditions in his own words. Published together for the first time, Ernest Shackleton's two polar memoirs are gripping accounts of adventure at the very limit of human endurance. The Heart of the Antarctic (1909) and South (1919) tell the story of the Nimrod and Endurance expeditions both of which fell short of their goal, but saw Shackleton defy overwhelming odds to save his men from catastrophe and bring them home. This commemorative three-volume set includes the complete texts from the first editions, alongside fine reproductions of the original photographs, drawings, panoramas and maps. The explorer's granddaughter, Alexandra Shackleton, has contributed a new introduction exclusively for the Folio Society. Each volume is beautifully bound in dark blue cloth, blocked in silver with a screen-printed image from the original cover. Housed in an elegant cloth-covered slipcase, Shackleton's Antarctica is the perfect tribute to the greatest British leader from the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.
