From AudioFile

Ranulph Fiennes leads expeditions for a living. In this recording he relates astonishing tales of his adventures to a theater audience. He describes his business cycle, which starts with "scrounging for sponsorship," and says his "boss" is his literary agent because each expedition needs to be able to produce promotion worth more than the sponsorship. Fiennes begins with the idea that he will travel only to hot places, so he hovercrafts 4,000 miles up the Nile River. Later, turning to the opposite extreme, Fiennes leads the first polar circumnavigation of the Earth and the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent. Fiennes's storytelling style is laconic and hilarious. This wonderful production is a cross between comedy and amazing tales of endurance.

Product Description

First published in 1987, this book takes Ranulph Fiennes from his South African boyhood and army career to the series of breathtaking expeditions which have justly earned him the title of " the world's greatest living explorer" . Since then, however, his determination to seek new challenges and, more importantly, to conquer them has led him to attempt to reach the North Pole without dogs or motorized equipment, to find the lost city of Ubar, hidden in the Arabian desert, and most recently, his extraordinary journey across the Antarctic to the South Pole. Writing with honesty and good humour, Ranulph Fiennes gives us a taste of the excitement, the hardship, the vital teamwork and the sheer courage that is the life of the modern explorer. He is an English hero in the classic mould - a man of whom it can be said that he has been everywhere and done everything.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing Expeditions - Humorous Presentation, Jui 26 2009
Par Anonymous Mom (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: An Evening With Ranulph Fiennes (Audio CD)
A friend lent me this audiobook and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, as this is not a topic I normally would choose. Ranulph has a very dry sense of humour and I'm still laughing at some of his remarks. He talks about various expeditions including his trip pole to pole. He is matter-of-fact in stating the risks, and they are impressive. The planning and manpower required behind the scenes was phenomenal. He speaks about this and his motivation for expeditions as a career. His presentation is casual, like a friend chatting late into the night, and gobsmacking at the same time. I was not familiar with Ranulph before this audiobook but, based on this, I would buy tickets to see him speak if that opportunity ever arose. Amazing.
