Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sport, Travel and Adventure While there is an enormous number of books by individual travellers, there does not appear to be any collection of such stories as are here related - stories of the hairbreadth escapes of the big-game hunter, the thrilling adventures of the explorer of unknown lands, or the great risks faced by the climber in his attempt to conquer some virgin peak. Again, in many of the books written by early explorers are valuable descriptions of native life and of primitive customs, which have, through various causes, either undergone great change or died out altogether. Some of the volumes containing this important material are out of print, and a selection of the most interesting pages has been made. Owing to the very large number of books quoted from, it is impossible to mention them separately here, but the editor wishes to take this opportunity of thanking the authors for their kind permission to make extracts from their books, and also to express his indebtedness to Mr. T. Fisher Unwin for so generously placing his fine library of travel-books at his disposal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
