This gripping story of courage and achievement is the account of Robert Falcon Scott's last fateful expedition to the Antarctic, as told by surviving expedition member Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Cherry-Garrard, whom Scott lauded as a tough, efficient member of the team, tells of the journey from England to South Africa and southward to the ice floes. From there began the unforgettable polar journey across a forbidding and inhospitable region. On November 12, 1912, in arctic temperatures, the author, in a search party, found the bodies of Scott and his companions along with poignant last notebook entries, some of them recorded in this work.

Among Apsley Cherry-Garrard's friends and admirers were John Galsworthy, H. G. Wells, Arnold Bennett, and Bernard Shaw. His background in the arts and humanities makes The Worst Journey in the World stand out as a literary accomplishment as well as a classic in the annals of exploration.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Robert Whitfield picks up on Cherry-Garrard's dry sense of humor, stiff-upper-lip approach to adversity, and appreciation for nature, the dogs and ponies on whom the expedition depended, and the polar landscape." ( AudioFile)
Fascinating Expedition Account • Harrowing Survival Story • Excellent Voice Acting • Captivating Historical Narrative

if you're having a hard time getting into it!

It's a bit information heavy in the beginning but picks up. By the end, I wanted more information!

skip to chapter 8 and circle back

Incredible story of truly incredible courage, generosity and valor. Yes it all happened long ago but there are lessons here still. And I would listen to Simon Vance read the back of a cereal box, he is that good

What did you love best about The Worst Journey in the World?

It's a true story written by one of the people who was actually there and based on journals kept by a few different people, so it gives a few different perspectives of the events.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It did get pretty emotional at some points, especially the journal entries by Scott's team when they realized they were going to die and were debating if they should keep going or kill themselves.

There was also some light hearted content, particularly about the habits of the Adélie penguins. It was a nice balance between heavy and light material.

Loved this

Very long audiobook, but it was worth finishing, the last couple chapters truly set this story in its proper place in history.

Incredible story and powerfully told.

The narrator is fantastic. I was interested the entire time. If you enjoy true adventure this is a fantastic pick. At first I was worried it was too long but it flew by! A story that will really stay with you!

Captivating!

One of the best polar books. Riveting and I learned so much. It wasn’t just about the story of the expedition, it was the theses and findings from the expedition. The incredible positive attitude and matter of fact-ness. Must read/listen

"I would never complain about heat again" that sentence really stuck with me - as did many more. This was not an easy book to get through, but Cherry's astute and sometimes humorous observations about the polar expedition, about Scott, about the men of this era... and about penguins proved well worth the time and effort. This would be a good book for a man coming-of-age in what is comparatively, a different world. A good book for anyone caught up in their own importance. It definitely made me rethink my own insignificant complaints.

Puts things into perspective...
