It is a fabulously illustrated book that chronicles his sailing adventure in 1907 across the south Pacific. London taught himself celestial navigation and the basics of sailing during the course of this adventure, and describes these details to the reader. This text will appeal to fans and collectors of London's work, and it would make for a great addition to collections of sailing literature. John Griffith "Jack" London (1876 - 1916) was a famous American author, journalist, and social activist. Many antiquarian books like this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
