The thing is so difficult that it is not worthwhile attempting it. The thing is so difficult that I cannot help but attempt it.' So said the Norwegian civil servant Salomon Andrée, who attempted to reach the North Pole in a hot air balloon in 1897. His words encapsulate the spirit of the explorers, travellers and dreamers whose unlikely adventures are told in this book. Before the modern age, the world was an unknown and mysterious place, and only the intrepid, the foolhardy or the mad would undertake a voyage of exploration. Impossible Journeys tells the stories of 24 of these journeys spanning 600 years from the Middle Ages to the Victorian era, which 'whether in the planning, the execution or the outcome, were implausible or unlikely, if not wholly impossible.…

Cloth & Decorative Boards. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Slipcover. 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Impossible Journeys. The central idea of this book is this: what would the world look like if you could take a map and wipe it clean, and then start restoring to it all the impossible or lost destinations that have fallen off along the way? It is a book for those who, like me, are at least as much interested in what the world once contained - even if only in conjecture - as in what it actually contains today. It is also for those who half-regret the slow, empirical death by discovery of a world in which almost anything was possinle because no one really knew what lay over the horizon. Illustrated. 222 pp. In a fine blue slip-cover. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
