The Solitary Slocum - Blondin, Robert

Tight, unmarked; single very light crease to spine; light soiling to bottom inside corner; otherwise very minimal wear; Johua Slocum's solo voyage around the world in his 37-foot sloop the Spray, in 1895, undoubtedly stand as one of the greatest sea adventures of all time. This thoroughly researched biography of the most famous of all sailors, delves into the subtleties of Slocum's personality and explores aspects of his character not evident in his own autobiographical works. The Solitary Slocum is far more than a chronological record of the exploits of the first single-handed circumnavigator of the earth, whose life still fascinates sailors. It is also a psychological investigation of a man representative of his era.
