Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage (VO)
Discover the truth about ENDURANCE in this superb true story of adventure, shipwreck, storms and survival on the high seas.'Superb ... the greatest survival story of all time' Sir Chris Bonington'One of the most remarkable tales of human courage and determination. The story is gripping and the book is a classic' Sir Ranulph FiennesENDURANCE is the story of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human courage ever recorded. In 1914 Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men set sail for the South Atlantic on board a ship called the Endurance. The object of the expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland. In October 1915, still half a continent away from their intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in ice. For five months Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways on one of the most savage regions of the world. This utterly gripping book, based on first-hand accounts of crew members and interviews with survivors, describes how the men survived, how they lived together in camps on the ice for 17 months until they reached land, how they were attacked by sea leopards, the diseases which they developed, and the indefatigability of the men and their lasting civility towards one another in the most adverse conditions conceivable.

Endurance. L'incroyable voyage de Shackleton
Lansing Alfred ; Jouan RenéL'Odyssée de Shackleton et de ses compagnons est l'une des plus sensationnelles de l'histoire de la mer. La volonté et l'énergie déployées par cette poignée d'hommes dans leur lutte titanesque contre les forces déchaînées de la Nature ont fait reculer les limites connues de la résistance humaine. Le 18 janvier 1915, l'Endurance ayant à son bord une expédition se proposant de traverser à pied le continent antarctique est prise par la banquise sans avoir pu toucher terre. Le 27 octobre suivant, le trois-mâts, peu à peu écrasé par la pression des glaces, est évacué ; les 28 hommes de l'expédition se retrouvent sur un floe, à 2 000 km du plus proche avant-poste. Ils dérivent jusqu'en avril 1916 et peuvent alors mettre à l'eau les trois embarcations de l'Endurance et gagner l'Ile de l'Eléphant. Shackleton et cinq de ses compagnons en repartent pour aller, à travers l'océan le plus tempétueux du globe, chercher du secours en Géorgie du Sud, à 800 milles de là. Cet incroyable exploit, dans une embarcation non pontée, est l'un des plus remarquables de l'histoire de la navigation. Parvenus sur la côte sud, Shackleton et deux de ses compagnons ont encore la force d'entreprendre la traversée à pied de la Géorgie du Sud, un effroyable chaos de montagnes et de glaciers, munis d'une simple corde et d'une herminette de charpentier, performance qui ne sera renouvelée que 40 ans plus tard par une expédition dotée de grands moyens. Les trois hommes atteignent le 20 mai 1916 le petit port baleinier de Stromness. Deux jours après les trois compagnons restés sur la côte sud sont sauvés, le 30 août ceux de l'Ile de l'Eléphant le sont également. Certes, le but de l'expédition n'a pas été atteint. Mais ces 28 hommes ont fait infiniment plus.Sur commande en 4-6 joursCOMMANDER23,00 € -

Little does anyone know that Beatrice also harbours a dark secret: an obsession with the true crime cases she reads about in the newspaper. For her family's sake, she's vowed to put this most unladylike obsession behind her. Eligible bachelor Edmund Croaksworth is set to attend the autumnal ball, and the Steele family hopes that her eldest sister Louisa will steal his heart. Their future depends on this match! Beatrice needs be on her best behaviour... though that's made more difficult when a disgraced yet strangely alluring detective inexplicably shows up to the ball. Just as Beatrice thinks she's gotten away with it, Croaksworth drops dead in the middle of a minuet. As a storm rages outside, the evening descends into a frenzy as it becomes clear they are trapped with a killer.
