The man who ate his boots: the tragic history of the search for the Northwest Passage

Trama

Brandt racconta tutta l'affascinante storia della ricerca del Passaggio a Nord-Ovest, dai suoi inizi all'inizio dell'era dell'esplorazione attraverso il suo sviluppo in un'ossessione nazionale britannica per l'ultima sordida, terribile discesa in scorbuto, fame e cannibalismo.
