By Valerian Albanov. New York: The Modern Library, 2000.
What some people go through!
In 1914, the author, along with several other crewmembers, left a ship that had gotten stuck in the ice of the North Pole to try to find something resembling civilization. The harrowing journey this entailed was complete with all the deprivations and hardships one would expect and more.
This is one of the most gripping nonfiction adventure stories I have read in a while. This 2000 edition is complete with an introduction, preface and notes providing background, explanation and later details.
