The North Pole - Erling Kagge

â ˜Extraordinaryâ ™ ANNE APPLEBAUMâ ˜Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuationâ ™ TELEGRAPH â ˜The book of a lifetimeâ ™ ELIF SHAFAKâ ˜The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for himâ ™ MICHAEL PALIN Heart-catching . . . fabulous OBSERVER â ˜A beautiful bookâ ™ ALAIN DE BOTTONThe epic adventure story of humanityâ ™s obsession with the North Pole, from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year.Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary â “ the first polar explorer global celebrities â “ who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the â ˜silver-shining vacantnessâ ™ of the North Pole.Blending memories from Kaggeâ ™s own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone whoâ ™s gazed out at the horizon â “ and wondered what happens if you just keep walking. As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally giftedâ ™ RANULPH FIENNES

The Nansen Photographs - Geir O. Kløver

Experience a legendary historic Arctic expedition hands-on: Original photos and diary entries will make you shiver, tremble and marvel with excitement A triumph of modern science: the Fram s voyage into the arctic ice co-founded the discipline of oceanography and revolutionised the way future expeditions were organised and run 2022 marks the centenary of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Fridtjof Nansen for his commitment to refugees and stateless people In the late 19th century, the Norwegian Artic explorer Fridtjof Nansen undertook a pioneering expedition: he wanted to reach the North Pole with the specially designed ship Fram. The Nansen Photographs recounts this expedition, from the launch in 1890 through to the end of Nansen’s international lecture tour in 1897, using original photographs alongside personal diary entries from Nansen and seven of his crew members. Together, they illustrate in a poignant and sometimes disconcerting way how the expedition members went about their daily lives and conducted their research, the conflicts they faced, and how they ultimately brought their daring undertaking to its successful conclusion. This book brings new life to previously known facts and introduces the reader to hundreds of previously unknown photographs from the expedition. The large format of the book brings the smaller details in the photographs to the forefront, providing new insight into the work and life on board, the equipment and the clothing. Opposing diary entries from Nansen and the men about the same situations show that life on board was not always easy and tell a gripping story of survival and the human condition. Nansen’s lack of empathy and practical skills caused frustration among the men, and several of them resorted to fists to sort out their differences, but nonetheless they all pulled through and set a new standard for arctic expeditions to come. When Nansen leaves the ship for his legendary 18-month journey with Hjalmar Johansen towards the North Pole, we follow both Nansen and Johansen and the crew left on board through their photographs and diaries. The return to Norway and the spectacular celebration is told in detail through photographs, newspaper reports, speeches, menus and ephemera. This stunning 712-page book comes with an illustrated dust jacket and contains 850 photographs and illustrations, 35 ship drawings and 25 maps.

The Balloonist - MacDonald Harris

In 1976 Farrar Strauss in the USA and Gollancz in the UK, published the 5th novel by an American writer who had been gathering momentum on both sides of the Atlantic. It was both an intense love story and a Jules Verne-type science fiction adventure, centred on an attempt by a Swedish scientist, an American journalist and a French speaking adventurer to become the first people to set foot on the North Pole. To arrive there and return, borne on the wind by a huge red and white hydrogen balloon. The book was a critical sensation, and was runner up for the National Book Awards in 1977. What was not known at the time of first publication, nor indeed when Galileo reissued this extraordinary book in 2011, was that the author had actually based this fiction on a real event: the 1897 attempt by S. A Andree to fly to the North Pole. This is a new edition, the first in a uniform presentation of selected Harris works.

Duše objevitelů pólu - Erling Kagge

Uvažujete někdy nad tím, jaký je hlubší smysl pobytů v přírodě v extrémních podmínkách, za nízkých teplot a jen s nejnutnějším vybavením? Podle norského pokořitele obou zemských pólů je jednou z odpovědí tzv. vnitřní rekalibrace. Erling Kagge ve své nové knize shrnuje zkušenosti z těchto expedicí, které ho dovedly až na samou hranici lidských možností, a popisuje, jak jej přežití v náročných situacích dovedlo ke změně pohledu na život a větší vnitřní vyrovnanosti. Je potřeba neustále si rozšiřovat obzory, naučit se chápat pozitivní aspekt samoty, Důležitý je i konstruktivní přístup ke štěstí, pokud nám zkříží cestu. Autor rozebírá své vnitřní stavy, zabývá se vlivem osamělosti během pobytu v přírodě na lidskou mysl a odkazuje na zkušenosti jiných norských objevitelů a myslitelů. Výsledkem by mělo být „resetování vnitřního kompasu“ a nalezení vnitřního klidu, přestože si slovy Kaggeho „odvahu s sebou nenosíme v termosce“.Erling Kagge je norský cestovatel, nakladatel, sběratel umění a otec tří dcer. Jeho knihy byly přeloženy již do 38 jazyků. Stěžejním tématem jeho prací jsou úvahy o vnitřním klidu, který se často dá nalézt při pobytu v přírodě.
