The Log from the Sea of Cortez

Häftad bok. Penguin . 1995. 288 sidor.

Gott skick. "This is at once the record of a serious biological expedition and of the impact of a biologist and a novelist upon each other's minds. ....
The best of Steinbeck is in it."
—Lewis Gannett, New York Herald Tribune
In 1940, Steinbeck and the biologist Edward F. Ricketts ventured aboard the Western Flyer, a sardine boat out of Monterey, California, on a 4,000-mile voyage around the Baja peninsula into the Sea of Cortez.
This exciting, day-by-day account of their expedition wonderfully combines science, philosophy, and high-spirited adventure, and provides a much fuller picture of Steinbeck-and his beliefs about man and the world.
This edition includes a critical introduction that places Log within the context of Steinbeck's life and work, as well as Steinbeck's delightful profile
"About Ed Ricketts."
