A Century of Great Exploration

From Robert Falcon Scott's final journal entry to Jon Krakauer's reckless solo climb of the Devil's Thumb to Tom Wolfe's brilliant portrayal of Check Yeager shattering the sound barrier in 'The Right Stuff', David Roberts and the editors of 'Outside' have gathered the most enduring adventure literature of the century into one heart-stopping volume.

A frigid winter ascent of Mount McKinley; the vastness of Arabia's Empty Quarter; the impossibly thin air at Everest summit; the deadly black pressure of an underwater cave; a desperate escape through a Norwegian winter - these and 36 other stories recount the minutes, hours and days of lives pushed to the brink. By turns charming and tragic, whimsical and nerve-racking, this extraordinary collection gets to the heart of why adventure stories enthrall us.
