Adventurers, world travelers and boaters – as well as any reader who can appreciate a self-deprecating wit or who simply has a thirst for escapist literature – will thrill at the contents of Joshua Slocum’s personal journal, published in 1900 under the name Sailing Alone Around the World. The experienced seaman was the very first person to sail around the world by himself, aboard his boat Spray, and his account is filled with near-death predicaments, descriptions of cultures from all over the globe and, perhaps most importantly to would-be adventurers, inspiration to step outside of one’s comfort zone and see the world.

About the Author Born in Nova Scotia, Canada, Joshua Slocum was the first man to sail single-handedly around the world. An international bestseller, Sailing Alone Around the World was a critical success upon its publication in 1900. Slocum enjoyed widespread fame in the English-speaking world, including an invitation to speak at a dinner in honor of Mark Twain, until his disappearance while aboard his boat the Spray in 1909. At the time, it was believed his boat had been run down by a steamer or struck by a whale, however it was later determined that the Spray could also have easily capsized. Despite a lifetime at sea, Slocum never learned to swim. He was declared legally dead in 1924.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A reprint that leaves much to be desired. By Hooksett Bob I own a version of this book which was published in 1956, and wanted to order a copy for a friend. I would be embarrassed to give this as a gift. It looks like a proof-readers copy of a book before it is issued for publication. Chapter headings appear in the middle of pages between text (and are written twice), and there are none of the sketches contained in my earlier version of the book. The type setting and book layout are as bland as a Word document you might write for a report at work. The complete story is here, but the presentation leaves much to be desired.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A joyful voyage By R. Olson I kept reading that Slocum 's book was the best ever written about a solo circumnavigation of the world so I had to check it out. I was surprised at how upbeat and enticing it was. This guy had a very good time!
