À propos de cet audio

 The year was 1915. Equipment and food supplies were totally inadequate. After battling its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice and located only a day's sail from its destination, the Endurance became locked inside an island of ice. Yet Ernest Shackleton enabled all 27 of his men to survive for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas - leadership without equal. This gripping account is based on contemporaneous diaries and interviews conducted by the author with these exceptional men.©1959 Alfred Lansing (P)2000 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

Watching a 90 minute documentary is no match against this 6 hour long story. I'm so moced by the resilience, perseverance and courage of these 28 men.

This relation of a near-disaster during an expedition to Antarctica is absolutely captivating. Alfred Lansing draws from planning/execution documents, ship manifests, memoirs, and actual interviews to construct a startlingly relatable tale about courage & force-of-will leadership (I can't help but contrast Ernest Shackleton's actions with those of Sir John Franklin 70 years earlier). The book is well-written, richly descriptive, and constructed nicely (yes, chronological - but with judicious cutaways & exceedingly human vignettes among the survivors - made up songs & poems, betting games, etc).

Reader Tim Pigot-Smith does the book justice with an outstanding narration, too. Mr. Pigot-Smith exhibits commendable diction, timbre, and cadence - but also a remarkably interested tone and well-thought-out voice-acting (avoiding accents when reading quotes, for example). Blackstone Audio Inc. pulled off a coup when they cast this project.

Altogether, 'Endurance' rates 9 stars out of 10. As an included selection with my Audible subscription, I feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled on it.. because it would merit a Credit if they asked for one.
