{"product_id":"9780393343342","title":"Endurance: An Epic of Polar Adventure","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe legendary tale of Ernest Shackleton's grueling Antarctic expedition, recounted in riveting first-person detail by the captain of HMS Endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e You seriously mean to tell me that the ship is doomed?\" asked Frank Worsley, commander of the \u003cem\u003eEndurance\u003c\/em\u003e, stuck impassably in Antarctic ice packs. \"What the ice gets,\" replied Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition's unflappable leader, \"the ice keeps.\" It did not, however, get the ship's twenty-five crew members, all of whom survived an eight-hundred-mile voyage across sea, land, and ice to South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island. First published in 1931, \u003cem\u003eEndurance\u003c\/em\u003e tells the full story of that doomed 1914-16 expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. It is a tale of unrelenting high adventure and a tribute to one of the most inspiring and courageous leaders of men in the history of exploration.","brand":"Norton, W.
