Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of a two-year Pacific voyage, the narrative chronicles Jack London and his wife Charmian's adventures aboard their 45-foot yacht, the Snark. The journey includes stops at exotic locations like Hawaii, Tahiti, and Fiji, where London immerses himself in local culture, learning to surf and navigating celestial waters. The travelogue, enriched with photographs, captures both the beauty and challenges of sailing. Ultimately, health issues cut the journey short, leading to the sale of the Snark and their return to America, paving the way for further literary explorations of their experiences.
