Description of North Korea Journal
Review PRAISE FOR MICHAEL PALIN AND HIS PREVIOUS BOOK,�EREBUS:�Palin is a gifted storyteller and has an unerring eye for illuminating anecdotes. His gripping account of the voyage of Erebus to Antarctica is particularly good and details an important period that will not be as familiar for many Franklin students. Palin�s treatment of work and daily life aboard the ships is engrossing.� �Canada�s History��Michael Palin has written a rollicking biography of the legendary ship, told through the lives (and deaths) of the people who manned her on explorations of Antarctica and the Arctic.�With this irresistible, sometimes funny and often harrowing account, he makes a convincing case that this one heroic little ship embodies the golden age of polar exploration better than any other.� �John Geiger, CEO of The Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Canadian Geographic�An extraordinary book. . . . The little-known tale of the southern voyage, based on copious surviving records, is enthralling, but it�s Palin�s refusal to speculate on the thoughts and emotions of the 129 men aboard Franklin�s two ships before the last of them died that gives Erebus an eerie resonance.� �Maclean�s � �At once breezy and gripping. . . . [Palin�s] writing tone is conversational, skeptical, frequently on the lookout for the humorous. . . . It�s this kind of detail of everyday activity in an otherworldly environment that makes Erebus so intriguing. Palin is at his best when describing the rituals of life on board an isolated and cramped space.� �The Globe and Mail�Beyond terrific. I didn�t want it to end.� �Bill Bryson�Expertly written and masterfully crafted, Palin�s story of one ship�s two bold explorations successfully weaves together two hundred years of history into page-turning entertainment.� �Adam Shoalts�What more could a reader ask for? Fascinating mystery, chilling adventure, compelling characters�one a powerful woman, another made of wood and sails�and simply terrific writing by Michael Palin.� �Roy MacGregor�One robust little tub of a boat, two death-defying voyages to the ends of the earth. Palin has given us a fascinating account of the extraordinary courage of nineteenth-century British sailors and officers. Even the sturdiest vessel is dependent on luck, climate and its captain�s skills as he faces ferocious weather, and Palin illuminates with enthusiasm and respect this chilly history of a bomb ship that made its name first as a polar pioneer and then later as a watery tomb. Enthralling.� �Charlotte Gray�At this late date, and against all odds, Michael Palin has found an original way to enter and explore the Royal Navy narrative of polar exploration. Palin is a superb stylist, low-key and conversational, who skillfully incorporates personal experience. He turns up obscure facts, reanimates essential moments, and never shies away from taking controversial positions. This beautifully produced volume�colour plates, outstanding maps�is a landmark achievement.� �Ken McGoogan Read more About the Author MICHAEL PALIN has written and starred in numerous TV programmes and films, from Monty Python and Ripping Yarns to A Fish Called Wanda and The Death of Stalin.
