The Nansen Photographs tells the story of Norwegian Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen and his ground-breaking effort to reach the North Pole in the specially-designed polarship Fram. The story starts when the plan for the expedition was launched in 1890 and continues until the end of Nansen's international lecture tour in 1897. We see how Nansen selected the cameras for the expedition, and photographs and information about the cameras themselves supplement this part. One chapter is dedicated to the early life of Nansen and another shows how the ideas for the expedition and the ship developed. We follow the construction of Fram through numerous letters between Nansen and the ship's designer and builder, Colin Archer, and five different sets of drawings of the vessel from the initial proposal to the final version are presented. The main elements of the book are every single recovered photograph taken during the expedition together with personal diary entries from Nansen and seven of his crew members about the situation when the photographs were taken. This brings new life to previously known photographs and introduces the reader to hundreds of unknown photographs from the expedition. Due to the large format of the book, the smaller details in the photographs give new insight into the work and daily life on board, the equipment and the clothing. Opposing diary entries from Nansen and the men about the same situations show that life on board was not always easy. Nansen's lack of empathy and practical skills caused frustration among the men, and several of them resorted to fists to sort out their differences. When Nansen leaves the ship for his legendary 18 month journey with Hjalmar Johansen towards the North Pole and Franz Josef Land, we follow both Nansen and Johansen and the crew left on board through their photographs and diaries. The return to Norway and the spectacular celebration along the entire Norwegian coast from Vardø in the north to K

Nå har jeg begynt på min lange reise og du er sikkert like forbauset som alle andre, så la meg fortelle deg hvordan denne planen ble til.Slik begynner denne underholdende reiseskildringen skrevet av Leonie d'Aunet, en 18 årig sosietetskvinne fra Paris. Hun skulle bli berømt for både et rikt forfatterskap, hennes slående skjønnhet og ukonvensjonelle adferd, og særlig kjærlighetsaffæren med dikteren Victor Hugo.Denne utrolige reiseberetningen gir oss et fascinerende blikk inn i attenhundretallets reiseliv og viser oss Norge på en helt ny måte. Hun skildrer mennesker, omgivelser, kultur og moter med sylskarp penn, og tegner også et svært levende og nådeløst ærlig portrett av et fattig Norge på 1800-tallet. Hennes reisebrev, som også avslører et aldri så lite temperament, utgjør et fantastisk historisk og etnografisk dokument.Léonie d'Aunet skriver med humor og presisjon om den strabasiøse ferden som blant annet foregår med vogn, med dampskip, til fots i knedyp snø, i en kano nedover strykene i Finland og i en slede trukket av rein. Underveis på reisen blir hun vartet opp etter beste evne av velvillige og nysgjerrige nordmenn. Hun forbauses av de kummerlige levekårene i Norge, og tvinges til å reflektere over sine egne privilegier. Flere ganger på reisen vekker opplevelsene hennes nye spørsmål om hva et godt liv er.En pariserinnes reise gjennom Norge til Spitsbergen anno 1838 ble svært populær da den ble utgitt, og har kommet i mange opplag på originalspråket. Den prisbelønte forfatteren Erika Fatland har skrevet forord til denne nyutgaven.

This guide covers via ferrata routes in the major mountain ranges of Civetta, Schiara and Pala as well as those to the west in the Brenta. A significant addition (and, as far as we are aware, not previously published in any English language guidebook) is the inclusion of routes around the northern end of Lake Garda and the Piccole Dolomites north of Vicenza. Here the mountains are generally lower and you can enjoy ferrata climbing over a much extended season, with some routes accessible for most of the year. This is the second in a series of two guidebooks to the via ferratas of the Italian Dolomites. (Volume One covers the eastern, northern and central areas of the Dolomites, while Volume Two completes the picture, focusing on the southern, Brenta and Lake Garda areas.)

Polarhistoriens største tragedier og mysterier er en fascinerende blanding av mot, overmot og uvitenhet. I jakten på ære, berømmelse og rikdom dro polfarerne til ytterkanten av den kjente verden, men mange kom aldri tilbake. Hva ligger bak disse tragediene? Hva fikk en 80-åring til å ta med førti mann for å finne Canadas gull i 1720? Hvordan kunne 17 friske menn omkomme i et nybygget hus fullt av mat? Var kaptein André gal eller genial da han seilte mot Nordpolen i ballongen sin? Hvordan kunne en lausunge fra Arendal bli dansk krigshelt og en ikonisk polarhelt? Boken gir deg både de berømte og de ukjente historiene, fra Hugh Willoughby i 1553 via Willem Barentsz i 1596, og sju andre ekspedisjoner, til kappløpet mellom Amundsen og Scott. Disse historiene har aldri blitt presentert samlet tidligere.

In 1995, before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire to move back to the States for a few years with his family, Bill Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. His aim was to take stock of the nation's public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite; a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy; place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey and Shellow Bowells; people who said 'Mustn't grumble', and 'Ooh lovely' at the sight of a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits; and Gardeners' Question Time. Notes from a Small Island was a huge number-one bestseller when it was first published, and has become the nation's most loved book about Britain, going on to sell over two million copies.
