London: British Broadcasting Corporation, 1983. 264 pp, 9 1/4" H). Map endpapers, b&w and colour photographs, maps, reproductions. "(T)hrows light on the character and actions of this remarkable man through a chronological selection from Shackleton's own writings, public and private. Much of the material comes from his own books, 'The Heart of the Antarctic' and 'South', both long out of print, which recount the triumphs and disasters of the 'Nimrod' and 'Endurance' expeditions with the freshness and immediacy of the diaries on which they are largely based. Together with his poetry and letters - especially those to his wife, Emily - they build up to the lively self-portrait of a many-sided, complex and fascinating man. Christopher Ralling's biographical notes provide a framework for Shackleton's own words, setting them in their time." Dust jacket has minor edge wear, some light rubbing on front panel, one 1" tear at top of front hinge (archivally taped), tiny tear at top of front flap-fold, .. Not Signed. First Edition.
