وصف الناشر
The legendary and harrowing tale of British explorer Ernest Shackelton’s 1914 shipwreck on Antarctic ice – and how his leadership rescued his crew
“One of the greatest adventure stories of our time.” –New York Times Book Review
In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the Endurance and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization.
In Endurance, the definitive account of Ernest Shackleton's fateful trip, Alfred Lansing brilliantly narrates the harrowing and miraculous voyage that has defined heroism for the modern age.

Endurance — Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage
This quote from the first chapter sets the stage for the book.
“Thus their plight was naked and terrifying in its simplicity. If they were to get out—they had to get themselves out.”
The title of the book and The above Excerpt From Endurance by Alfred Lansing, are only hints to what the captain and crew of the Endurance accomplished.
This is not a motivational book by intent. When life, however, seems to be dishing out a seemingly overwhelming quantity of challenges one immediately followed by another. My thoughts go immediately to the true story contained in this book and the quote above. I recommend this book to others often.
