KON-TIKI: Across the Pacific by Raft [ Fourteenth Printing, October, 1951 ] (A Theory, An Expedition is Born, To South America, Halfway, Across the Pacific, To the South Sea Islands, Among Polynesians)
On a primitive raft made of forty-foot balsa logs and named Kon-Tiki in honor of a legendary dun king, Heyerdahl and five companions deliberately risked their lives to show that the ancient Peruvians could have made the 4,300 mile voyage to the Polynesian islands on similar craft. Generously illustrated with photographs.
