The South Pole by Frank McLynn (Bipolar #1)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 422 KB
Overview: Roald Amundsen believes he can triumph over any obstacle. He is a man driven, to the point of self-destruction.
An expedition to Antarctica and a mission to navigate the unconquered North-West passage nearly break Amundsen, both physically and financially. Amundsen is plagued by inner demons and personal problems, at the same time that the world lionises the explorer. But there are frontiers still to be conquered.
Despite the danger, despite the sacrifices he must make, Amundsen is determined to be the first man to reach the South Pole. But he is not the only man driven to make his mark on the world. Amundsen learns of a rival expedition, by the British explorer Captain Scott. The race is on. Amundsen must fight against the elements, as well as his own nature. Amundsen is willing to win at all costs – even if it might kill him.
In this deeply researched historical fiction account, Frank McLynn reveals the complicated man he was: ruthless but sentimental, courageous but devious, and above all a dedicated womaniser prepared to sublimate his libido in the lust for glory. The competing tugs of his private/inner life with the public achievements provide a story that is as fascinating a psychological study as it is an epic of polar exploration.
