具体描述
Kon-Tiki is the record of an astonishing adventure -- a journey of 4,300 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean by raft. Intrigued by Polynesian folklore, biologist Thor Heyerdahl suspected that the South Sea Islands had been settled by an ancient race from thousands of miles to the east, led by a mythical hero, Kon-Tiki. He decided to prove his theory by duplicating the legendary voyage.
On April 28, 1947, Heyerdahl and five other adventurers sailed from Peru on a balsa log raft. After three months on the open sea, encountering raging storms, whales, and sharks, they sighted land -- the Polynesian island of Puka Puka.
Translated into sixty-five languages, Kon-Tiki is a classic, inspiring tale of daring and courage -- a magnificent saga of men against the sea.
Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Kon-Tiki has been prepared by an editorial committee headed by Harry Shefter, professor of English at New York University. It includes a foreword by the author, a selection of critical excerpts, notes, an index, and a unique visual essay of the voyage.

“如今旅行问题已跟印加时代相去甚远。我们拥有汽车、飞机和旅游局,不过为了让事情显得并不容易,今人设立了国境这个障碍物,以及国境上带着铜纽扣的人员,他们不信任任何人,粗鲁地对待别人的行李,而且还用盖了章的表格弄得你意乱心慌;但前提是,你最终能侥幸进入国境。” ...

非常棒的书。让人心潮澎湃。 莫名想起了地理大发现的时代。 当人类很年轻,对世界了解不是那么多的时候。面对那么多的未知,去了解,去挑战,默默死掉,可能现在看来很残酷,但仔细想想,是多浪漫的事啊。 当哥伦布出发的时候,恐怕自己不会想到,仅仅30几天就会看到一片辽...
