«Magnificent» Robert Macfarlane
Winner of the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year
Our lives depend on shipping, but it is a world that remains largely hidden from us. In every remote corner of every sea, at every night, every day, and in every imaginable weather, small groups of sailors work on the giant ships that keep the world in motion. These ordinary people live extraordinary lives, exposed to dangers and hardships that we can only imagine, from hurricanes and pirates to years of confinement in hazardous, if not grueling, conditions. Horatio Clare joins two container ships on their epic voyages around the world and lives unforgettable journeys. As the ships traverse seas of history and events, the seafarers reveal the stories of their lives, and thus emerges a beautiful and terrifying depiction of the oceans and their human affairs.
