What one reviewer said about Sailing Alone Around the World (Konemann Classics) by Joshua Slocum:
I first read this book when I was nine years old. I have re-read this book many times since then during various stages of adulthood. It is a good book, well written, and a joy to make part of one's life.
Slocum's clarity of thought and vivid descriptions are wonderful to study and consider. Today, world travellers must equip themselves lavishly with things. Slocum equiped himself with little materially. He was lavishly equiped with intelligence, the ability to take action on knowledge.
He colorfully demonstrates the ability to solve problems through forethought. Could that be good guidance?
What another reviewer said about Sailing Alone Around the World (Konemann Classics) by Joshua Slocum:
Joshua Slocum found himself out of a job and depressed when he was given a boat-the Spray, which he restored and used to set off around the world alone. It is fitting that a life long seaman such as he was the first man to do it, and that he did it for himself and not for the glory of it. A first class read, and at this price how, can you afford not to buy it. You will treasure this book, and not want to lend it out for fear it may not return.
