After a series of costly setbacks, the commandant faced two bad options: turn back in defeat and spare his men the devastating Antarctic winter, or recklessly chase fame by sailing deeper into the freezing waters.

The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819 the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with 20 crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than 90 days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, and disease and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival.

In the summer of 1913, the wooden-hulled brigantine Karluk departed Canada for the Arctic Ocean. At the helm was Captain Bob Bartlett, considered the world’s greatest living ice navigator. The expedition’s visionary leader was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson hungry for fame. Just six weeks after the Karluk departed, giant ice floes closed in around her. As the ship became icebound, Stefansson disembarked with five companions and struck out on what he claimed was a 10-day caribou hunting trip. Most on board would never see him again.

Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. In 2008, Worsley set out across Antarctica with two other descendants of Shackleton's crew, battling the freezing, desolate landscape and life-threatening physical exhaustion. He soon felt compelled to go back. In 2015, Worsley bid farewell to his family and embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone.

Histoire
In the late 19th century, demand for fur was in sharp decline. This could have spelled economic disaster for the venerable Hudson's Bay Company. But an idea emerged in political and business circles in Ottawa and Montreal to connect the disparate British colonies into a single entity that would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With over 3,000 kilometers of track, much of it driven through wildly inhospitable terrain, the CPR would be the longest railroad in the world and the most difficult to build. Its construction was the defining event of its era.

Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a thrilling story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court-martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on the Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire.
A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, TIME, Smithsonian, NPR, Vulture, Kirkus Reviews
“Riveting...Reads like a thriller, tackling a multilayered history—and imperialism—with gusto.”—Time
"A tour de force of narrative nonfiction.”—The Wall Street Journal
On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes.
But then...six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes—they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang.
The Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann’s recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O’Brian, his portrayal of the castaways’ desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court-martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann’s work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the listener spellbound.
Ce que les critiques en disent
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, TIME, NPR, Esquire, BookPage
“The most gripping sea-yarn I’ve read in years….A tour de force of narrative nonfiction. Mr. Grann’s account show how storytelling, whether to judges or readers, can shape individual and national fortunes–as well as our collective memories.”—Wall Street Journal
“Glorious, steely…a tightly written, relentless, blow-by-blow account that is hard to put down”—The Washington Post
“As much a rousing adventure as an exploration of the power of narratives to shape our perception of reality.”—The New York Times

Worst narration I’ve heard on Audible
Can hardly listen to narrator. Has a breathless style that is patently insincere. Also, tenor of narration rarely reflects plot, which suggests he doesn’t understand the book. Exposition paragraphs get the same breathless delivery as action passages. Lastly, annoying habit of pronouncing Spanish words with Spanish rather than English pronunciation- comes across as a “show off” when he does so. Plot is JUST interesting enough to keep me going but would love it if I could hear it with a narrator that understands the book and can adjust his delivery to the content.

The reader is awful.
This is an extremely well written book. I have no idea why Dion Graham felt that he had to read it as if he was speaking to an audience of kindergarten students. The moment you hear it you’ll know what I mean. I had to grit my teeth to get through this. I finally gave up, and read the last half of the book. So disappointing. He absolutely ruined the experience.

Untold History
Fascinating story. As the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction. I am so glad I chose to listen to this audio book. Throughout the story I kept wondering why this incredible piece of history had previously been lost. It is a tale of bravery, courage, survival, perseverance, murder, hatred, arrogance and the first sin ever committed….pride. I learned much. I was entertained while being educated. Advice? Read this book and don’t skip the epilogue.

decent book
This is a good, but not great book. It is unfortunately a bit thin in material on the survival situation and fills it in with a lot of general historical background. I thought the narration was good, if a bit 'breathy' at times.

Many Dimensions to this Story
I had not been even remotely aware of this story prior to hearing this audio book. It is entirely engrossing and there are so many different facets to it. It is entirely about this time in history with a case study in leadership, will to survive and the desire of an empire to control the narrative. The narrator overall was very good, although a little overly dramatic at times.
