Sobre este item

UK: Vintage Books, 2013. Soft cover. Very Good. 5 x 0.8 x 7.8 inches. p/b 258 pages, condition is very good. Empire Antarctica is the story of one man and his fascination with the world's loneliest continent, as well as the emperor penguins who weather the winter with him. Combining an evocative narrative with a sublime sensitivity to the natural world, this is travel writing at its very best. Gavin Francis fulfilled a lifetime's ambition when he spent fourteen months as the base-camp doctor at Halley, a profoundly isolated British research station on the Caird Coast of Antarctica. So remote, it is said to be easier to evacuate a casualty from the International Space Station than it is to bring someone out of Halley in winter. Antarctica offered a year of unparalleled silence and solitude, with few distractions and very little human history, but also a rare opportunity to live among emperor penguins, the only species truly at home in the Antarctic. Following the penguins throughout the year -- from a summer of perpetual sunshine to months of winter darkness.

Sinopse

GAVIN FRANCIS has lectured at the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge, the Edinburgh Book Festival, and is a regular speaker at the Royal Scottish Geographical Society. His first book was True North ("A seriously accomplished first book, by a versatile and interesting writer... it is set apart from run-of-the-mill by the elegance and grace of its prose, and by its abiding interest in landscapes of the mind." --Robert MacFarlane).
