Couverture souple. Condition: Bon. Livre RefAbe S1088 Ref048 Editions France empire 1984 Bon état . Harry Pidgeon (1869-1954), constructeur de son propre bateau, est le premier navigateur amateur à faire le tour du monde par la route des alizés. Il initia ainsi, à une époque où les petits voiliers étaient rares à naviguer au grand large, et sans l avoir imaginé un seul instant, un nouveau genre de vie, qui depuis quatre-vingt-dix ans attire de plus en plus d adeptes : les vagabonds des mers. Ce récit devenu mythique est constamment réédité aux États-Unis. Voici la traduction annotée et commentée des jours les plus libres et les plus heureux de ma vie (Harry Pidgeon). Traduit de l américain par Olivier Merbau Titre original : Around the world single-handed : the cruise of the Islander . Le livre de Harry Pidgeon retrace son extraordinaire voyage en solitaire autour du monde dans les années 1920 à bord de l « Islander ». Il donne un aperçu unique des cultures des îles des mers du Sud à cette époque, tout en présentant les aventures de Pidgeon et son amour pour l exploration. Le livre offre un récit divertissant des voyages de Pidgeon, reflétant une joie authentique de l exploration. Il est apprécié des lecteurs pour son style simple, ses riches descriptions des cultures du début du XXe siècle et l histoire inspirante d un marin pionnier. De nombreux lecteurs trouvent qu il s agit d un livre qui se lit d une traite et qui permet de s évader agréablement. Le livre peut sembler un peu dépassé et ne pas adhérer au politiquement correct contemporain. Certains critiques notent qu il n a pas la profondeur et la résonance émotionnelle que l on trouve dans d autres récits de navigation. Ref048 RefAbe S1088. Livre.…
