Beschreibung

"My Attainment of the Pole" is a compelling narrative penned by Frederick Albert Cook, recounting his claim of being the first person to reach the North Pole. In this gripping account, Cook takes readers on a journey through the treacherous Arctic terrain, detailing the challenges, triumphs, and controversies surrounding his historic polar expedition.

Through vivid descriptions and personal reflections, Cook provides insight into the harsh conditions and extreme isolation of the Arctic wilderness. He describes the relentless struggle against freezing temperatures, shifting ice floes, and dwindling supplies as he and his team journeyed toward their elusive goal.

Cook's narrative is not only an adventure tale but also a testament to human resilience and determination in the face of adversity. His account of reaching the North Pole, if true, represents a monumental achievement in the annals of exploration, forever altering our understanding of the polar regions.

However, Cook's claim to have reached the North Pole has been met with skepticism and controversy, with many questioning the veracity of his account. Despite the debate surrounding his achievement, "My Attainment of the Pole" remains a captivating and thought-provoking read, offering readers a glimpse into the extraordinary challenges and triumphs of polar exploration.

    "Discovery of Less is the true story about one mans poignant and humorous journey of stepping out of the comfort zone of everyday life and letting go. Through his insightful and refreshing storytelling, Chris Lovett shares details of how he found enriching outcomes of a simpler approach to life and work after decluttering, selling off everything he owned and walking away from the security of a stable career. Although the material deals with important issues such as clutter, emotional attachment, stress, sentimental attachment, debt, career change, imposter syndrome and the like, there is always room for fun and Chris brings colour, flavour and reality through his storytelling and just adds a little bit of dirt to the clean minimalist aesthetic. This book is your companion to stepping out of the lost year, providing inspiration and motivation to ditch all that stuff that holds us back to be better and do better, with less."

    The undisputed master of the short story, Saki's name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society, and his plays were no exception. In his only full-length play, 'The Watched Pot', Trevor Bavvel, sole heir to a country estate, is in want of a wife, but must operate under the strict attention of his miserly mother Hortensia. 
    Although wildly neglected today, Saki's plays met with widespread acclaim in his day, and he was even compared favourably with the great Oscar Wilde. This complete edition of Saki's plays – the first complete edition ever published – demonstrates the great writer's prowess as a playwright, and sparkles with the same wit as the short stories that have enchanted generations of readers.
