Adventures in a Kayak, Rowboat and Dogsled

Delivery Time: 7 to 15 Working Days Format: Book

A mesmerizing account of one man's obsessive journeys to some of the most remote, inhospitable regions on the face of the earth.
This personal account of many journeys and a life in transition is well served by the author's own reading. Turk's voice conveys the same honesty as his prose, as if inviting the listener for a casual evening of stories around the fire. The reading is not always smooth and polished, but this occasional unsteadiness evokes the essence of the uncertainties and struggles that Turk has confronted and made central to his book. The abridged reading retains the spirit of adventure and self-discovery that propelled Turk to explore Cape Horn, the Northwest Passage, Baffin Island, and Greenland. Listeners may well set off to follow his paddle strokes. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Byron Ricks
