«Solo, intorno al mondo» is Joshua Slocum's travel account, published by Ugo Mursia Editore in paperback (304 pages, in Italian).
Slocum, captain and sole crew member of his sailing boat, recounts the first solo circumnavigation of the world under sail, a feat narrated with serenity and joy. The volume includes the voyage of the Liberdade, the canoe in which, with his family, he sailed up the Atlantic from Argentina to Boston, now preserved at the Smithsonian Institution.
The Italian edition, translated by Alex Carozzo, is part of the «Quelli di Capo Horn» collection.
A title for readers interested in sailing, great expeditions and true adventure chronicles.
Joshua Slocum was the first person to sail single-handedly around the world. He was a Nova Scotian-born, naturalised American seaman and adventurer, and a noted writer. In 1900 he wrote a book about his journey, Sailing Alone Around the World, which became an international best-seller. He disappeared in November 1909 while aboard his boat, the Spray.
