The Girl in the Leaves Audiobook, by Robert Scott
And Then She Killed Him Audiobook, by Robert Scott

Publisher Description

Captain Robert Scott's final journey to the South Pole has been called one of history's greatest tales of adventure. And his journals are among the most dramatic and moving documents in the English language. Sensitively read by David Horovitch, this new audio adaptation starts in 1910 as Scott's ship, the Terra Nova, sets sail from New Zealand. Then in vivid, conversational style details the dangerous journey through the ice to Antarctica, the winter hibernation in 24-hour darkness, and the final journey to and from the Pole. A remarkable story of courage, it ends with Scott's last tragic diary entry on the 29th March 1912, when he, Wilson and Bowers, out of food, sheltering from the raging blizzard outside their tent, calmly await their deaths.

"I read this on a day by day basis, traveling with Scott on the journey. I was impressed with Scott's writing. Loved the parts that took place near McMurdo station, since I could envision them. Overall, it's an epic journey that is well documented.........highly recommended."

    " Een groepje fanatisten in de sneeuw. Dat alles echt gebeurd is, fout gaat en dramatisch eindigt verhoogt het leedvermaak en de drang om het uit te lezen. "

    " Interesting mix of Scott's journal entries and other notes about the expedition. The book really gave a good sense of the difficulties the expedition endured. A tragic story of early Antarctic exploration. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " It's just as it claims, the mostly daily journal of Scott's doomed polar expedition. You share in their fears, joys, and ultimately their decline as the end approaches. Scott wrote with honesty and sincerity and never lost the composure of an officer and gentleman. "

    " Note to self: if you ever go to the Antarctic and find that the Norwegians have beat you to the South Pole, don't worry about carrying thirty-five pounds of fossils back. Don't worry about it. Worry about not having packed enough food. "

    " Scott's diary was published in an edited form after his death in 1912. The unexpurgated version tells us more about the man and the traits that led to the fatal outcome for his team. "
