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.

这本书读得有点快，不写点什么东西记录下自己的感受，估计很快就忘了。本来以为是一个虚构的航海故事，后来发现是一个人类学的纪实。小说的前一部分内容很简单，作者用诙谐而轻松的笔调在将自己是如何找到造木法的木头的。奥尔巴赫宰《摹仿论》中讨论过文本时间和现实时间之间...
《孤筏重洋》这本书，或者说是这场探险。源自作者托尔·海尔达尔的一个想法。 十年前（1937），刚刚大学毕业的海尔达尔与新婚妻子来到太平洋一个名叫法图黑伐的小岛上居住。他们决心远离文明社会的庇护， 住在一间自己动手盖的棚屋里，吃森林和海洋出产的食物，收集生物标本，...
