Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage (Audio Editions) Review "And after hearing Endurance, mismatched socks and traffic snarls suddenly don't seem quite so terrible." -- USA Today, December 12, 2002"Diary excerpts and interviews with the men contribute to an account which comes to life in audio format." -- Library Bookwatch, February 2003"Forget other audios on the expedition  this is the definitive." -- Todays Librarian, February 2001"Lansing's detailing words and Shackelton's exploits roll off of Pigott-Smith's tongue like vivid poetry." -- Erick Mertz, Cosmik Debris, January 2003"The publishers couldn't have found a better reader than Tim Pigott-Smith." -- AudioFile 2000  From AudioFile This is the awesome tale of British explorer Ernest Shackleton's abortive 1914 attempt to reach the South Pole. His ship, Endurance, was trapped and then crushed by sea ice, leaving Shackleton and 27 men adrift on ice floes. The story of how Shackleton saved all of them and reached South Georgia Island is one of the epics in the history of survival. The publishers couldn't have found a better reader than Tim Pigott-Smith. His accent and low-key approach vibrate with subtle emotional strain as he takes us through the week-by-week, month-by-month ordeal, exuding an intensity that keeps the listener on the edge of the seat.
