A truly majestic work of scholarship, thought, and literary imagination, Jan Morris' The Times hailed it as "a triumph of the human spirit." The Washington Post praised it as "shot through with crystalline brilliance," while the Sunday Times described it as "fascinating."
When Captain Scott died in 1912 on his way back from the South Pole, his story became a myth embedded in the national imagination. Everyone remembers the doomed Captain Oates' last words: "I'm just going outside, and I may be some time."
Francis Spufford's celebrated and prize-winning history shows how Scott's death was the culmination of a national enchantment with vast empty spaces, the beauty of untrodden snow, and perilous journeys to the end of the earth. Winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, the Writers Guild Non-Fiction Book of the Year, and the Banff Mountain Book Prize, Spufford's work is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring fascination with the human spirit in the face of adversity.
