DOUGLAS KENNEDY
MAS ALLA DE LAS PIRAMIDES. VIAJE POR EL EGIPTO DESCONOCIDO
Evitando los destinos turísticos habituales como las pirámides templos y otras rutinas de la antigüedad Douglas Kennedy emprendió un itinerario atípico por el Egipto moderno y empezó a encontrar enseguida cosas inesperadas: desde beduinos viendo la televisión en sus oasis a monjes coptos avezados en informática hasta una comunidad de pobres instalada en un cementerio de El Cairo.

Douglas Mawson Sir
THE HOME OF THE BLIZZARD. Being the Story of the Australasian Expedition 1911-1914
William Heinemann London 1915. First Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. 1st 2 Volume Edition; Vol I xxx 349 pages illustrated. Frontispiece 8 colour plates 108 b/w plates 4 folding 17 text illustrations. Vol II xiii 338 pages. Frontispiece 10 colour plates 93 b/w plates 5 folding 20 text illustrations 3 folding maps in rear pocket. Original dark blue cloth title gilt to upper board and spine pictorial block - "Leaning into the Wind" - in silver to front cover. The book is in the same format as Shackletons Heart of the Antarctic which is advertised on the first half-title verso. Shelf wear some fading to spine and odd page loosening but all complete contents clean and bright all maps called for and are all in good condition overall a lovely copy. Initially intending to be a member of Scotts party Mawson decided to command his own expedition the first official Australasian Antarctic Expedition. Mawson charted more than 2000 miles of coastline and nearly lost his life in a wild sledge journey. In the process he developed a detailed scientific analysis of George V Land and Macquarie Island and produced this classic account of heroic age exploits which includes stunning photography from the camera of Frank Hurley. Shore parties wintered at Cape Denison and on the Shackleton Ice Shelf. The former base was unfortunately located in an area of constant gale-force winds hence the title. In December 1912 a sledge party reached the South Magnetic Pole located by Eric Webb. Meanwhile another party consisting of Mawson Ninnis and Mertz explored eastwards across George V Land. Only Mawson returned to base Ninnis having fallen down a crevasse. With him went the 6 fittest dogs & the most indispensable supplies. Mertz & Mawson improvised feeding the dogs worn out mitts raw-hide straps but eventually the weakest dogs were killed to feed them all until all the dogs were gone. The two men reserved the dog's livers as the meat easiest to chew unaware that liver's toxins were slowly poisoning the men as they consumed it. Mertz became delirious and died. Mawson continued the soles of his feet separating and his toes and fingers festering. Miraculously he found a depot of food and arrived eventually at the main depot to see the ship departing on the horizon. He wintered over with the 6 men who had remained to continue the search. On Dec. 24 1913 their 2 year journey was finally over. The expedition would discover 1320 miles of land including the Mertz Denman and Scott Glaciers and the Davis Sea and map 800 miles of coastline between Gaussberg and Cape Adare all along the Adelie Land coast and beyond. Taurus 100; Rosove 217.A1; Spence 774; Conrad p208. This is the first UK edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 5 kilogram. Category: Arctic & Antarctic; Exploration. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 293. .
