Beschreibung

Get a comprehensive overview for Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night by Julian Sancton  for an immediate in-depth dive into the major themes found in this book.
 
Julian Sancton was a senior features editor at Departures magazine, where he covered cultural and travel topics. Various periodicals, including Vanity Fair, Esquire, The New Yorker, Wired, and Playboy, have featured his writing. He spent most of his youth in France and went on to study European history at Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. He has covered every continent, including Antarctica, which he visited for the first time while researching the book Madhouse at the End of the Earth.

    In Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night, Sancton tells an epic tale of adventure and terror that will be remembered for generations to come. The Belgica’s crew was in the face of great danger, and its captain, Adrien de Gerlache, was forced to rely on his two officers: the expedition’s lone American, Dr. Frederick Cook, and Roald Amundsen, the ship’s first mate. Together, they would work to devise a desperate, almost certain-to-fail escape from the ice—an attempt that would either leave their names in history or condemn them to a dreadful end at the bottom of the ocean.

    A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
    Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
    
    "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
    "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
    "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
    "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
    "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
    "This memoir is astounding. I'm reading it a second time."—VANESSA REDGRAVE
    "A volume filled with moving, entertaining and fascinating memories, by one of our great stage and screen writers."—PETER TATCHELL
    "On the Boardwalk is full of audacity and joyfulness, jokes and tears, it blew my mind, as it will blow yours." – PETE TOWNSHEND
    "He writes like Philip Roth—but even funnier."—RUBY WAX
