This is a new reading of the thrilling account of one of the most astonishing feats of exploration and human courage ever recorded.
In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October, 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world.
Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean in the world and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains. The book recounts a harrowing adventure, but ultimately it is the nobility of these men and their indefatigable will that shines through.

“Simon Prebble gives each [of the crew] a unique voice, from Cockney to Scot. He ambles engagingly through the calmer moments of the narrative and grabs the listener by the lapels when the going gets rough…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
“Riveting.”
“Grit in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity.”
“Endurance is one of the most gripping, suspenseful, intense stories anyone will ever read.”
“Without doubt a classic, rousing tale of the heroic age of exploration.”
“This painstakingly written authentic adventure story will rank as one of the classic tales of the heroic age of exploration.”
The book is detail oriented and so well written that you would live the book with these 28 men. You would travel, eat, endure, believe and be heartbroken as if you were the 29th person of the party. The book is un-put-down-able. You will be on a pilgrimage of sort while reading it. Moving and marvelous.
