Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

pp. 327. 8vo. Tan boards with silver lettering to the spine, map endpapers. Black-and-white illustrations throughout. No flaws noted to the extremities, neat ink name to the corner of the title page, else, contents without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked pages and firm, sound binding; near fine and housed in its original, unclipped, dustjacket. Near fine. The true story of the remarkable John Rae - Arctic traveller and Hudson's Bay Company doctor - a tale of imperial ambition and high adventure. In 1854 Rae solved the two great Arctic mysteries: the fate of the doomed Franklin expedition and the location of the last navigable link in the Northwest Passage. But Rae was to be denied the recognition he so richly deserved. On returning to London, he faced a campaign of denial and vilification led by two of the most powerful people in Victorian England: Lady Jane Franklin, the widow of the lost Sir John, and Charles Dickens, the most influential writer of the age. With this is story of courage and determination, McGoogan aims to capture the essence of one man's indomitable spirit. It is his redemption of Rae's rightful place in history.…
