- Synopsis
-
Long out of print, this book is a masterpiece of nautical adventure and natural history. The author had taught Conrad and Melville, but never set foot on a tall ship until he boarded the Regina Maris. H
is evocation of masts and spars, canvas and rigging, and of the living presence of the Regina Maris on the open ocean is some of the finest writing about life aboard a ship this side of Patrick O'Brian.
This is a beautiful, passionate examination of a man's coming to terms with himself, with his fellows, and with the diverse wonders of a fascinating arctic ecosystem.
