Bag om The Cruise of the Snark
""The Cruise of the Snark"" is a non-fiction book written by Jack London about his journey aboard the Snark, a small sailing vessel, through the South Pacific. The book chronicles London's adventures as he sails from San Francisco to Hawaii, the Marquesas Islands, Tahiti, and the Solomon Islands. Along the way, he encounters various challenges, including storms, illness, and cultural differences. London also reflects on his personal life and philosophy, including his views on race, religion, and the meaning of life. The book is a vivid account of a daring adventure and a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of America's greatest writers.No, adventure is not dead, and in spite of the steam engine and of Thomas Cook and Son. When the announcement of the contemplated voyage of the Snark was made, young men of ""roving disposition"" proved to be legion, and young women as well--to say nothing of the elderly men and women who volunteered for the voyage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
