Synopsis
Last days in the Antarctic journeys of Scott and Mawson 1911-1913It is 1912, the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Scott's journey has ended. Mawson's is just beginning. Adrian Caesar's stunning stroke of imaginative re-creation transports us to the last days of those perilous expeditions in the heart of the white continent.Sweeping through deaths and disasters with the pace and inevitability of a thriller, The White inexorably lays bare the forces that drove these two adventurers, the values that inspired them, and the remorseless obsession that dominated them.'Adrian Caesar's chilling prose transported me right back into the heart of Antarctica. This is a magnificent retelling of those two fateful expeditions of 1912' - Ranulph Fiennes'This imagined recreation of the two most unforgettable Antarctic disasters tells brutal stories, but manages to do so with great tenderness and grace. Adrian Caesar's literary high-wire act works wonderfully well, adding a vivid humanity to landscapes scattered only with stiffly-written memoirs and black, ice-cold memorials.' - Simon Winchester
