À propos de cet audio

 This gripping story of courage and achievement is the account of Robert Falcon Scott's last fateful expedition to the Antarctic, as told by surviving expedition member Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Cherry-Garrard, whom Scott lauded as a tough, efficient member of the team, tells of the journey from England to South Africa and southward to the ice floes. From there began the unforgettable polar journey across a forbidding and inhospitable region. On November 12, 1912, in arctic temperatures, the author, in a search party, found the bodies of Scott and his companions along with poignant last notebook entries, some of them recorded in this work.

Among Apsley Cherry-Garrard's friends and admirers were John Galsworthy, H.G. Wells, Arnold Bennett, and Bernard Shaw. His background in the arts and humanities makes The Worst Journey in the World stand out as a literary accomplishment as well as a classic in the annals of exploration.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Robert Whitfield picks up on Cherry-Garrard's dry sense of humor, stiff-upper-lip approach to adversity, and appreciation for nature, the dogs and ponies on whom the expedition depended, and the polar landscape." (AudioFile)

Incredible real-life account of a mind-boggling adventure. True heroes. I will never complain about cold or discomfort again. The narrator is exceptional.

while I have only given this book two Stars it is not because it is necessarily bad. really you just have to understand a few things about it before deciding if it is worth it. this book is a primary source so the content is obviously valuable in some respects. but as an audiobook it is not overly great. this is because the author jumps around a bit in terms of chronological description and he quotes from numerous diaries, making it hard to understand whose perspective he is speaking from. further as the book is 100 years old it sounds very antiquated and even uses some openly racist terms. also the author assumes you know about the journey so this should not be your first introduction to Scott's expedition. with all this in mind the listening time is a bit long. interestingly for the author his worst journey of the world is not the actual trip to the pole, but a somewhat unnecessary side trip they took to find penguin eggs.
