內(nèi)容簡介:
Happy Adventure was a schooner with one fatal flaw. It leaked like a sieve. So why would anyone repeatedly expose himself and his friends to the elements of the North Atlantic in a treacherous, stubborn, uncomfortable, unfloatable boat which at last count, has sunk eight times? Any explanation of this appalling narative seems outrageously unlikely. But the story is true. All too true. And it's decidedly the funniest story yet from Farley Mowat, whose books have sold over a million and a half copies in this country alone.
作者簡介:Farley Mowat was born in Belleville, Ontario, in 1921, and grew up in Belleville, Trenton, Windsor, Saskatoon, Toronto, and Richmond Hill. He served in World War II from 1940 until 1945, entering the army as a private and emerging with the rank of captain. He began writing for his living in 1949 after spending two years in the Arctic. Since 1949 he has lived in or visited almost every part of Canada and many other lands, including the distant regions of Siberia. He remains an inveterate traveller with a passion for remote places and peoples. He has twenty-five books to his name, which have been published in translations in over twenty languages in more than sixty countries. They include such internationally known works as
People of the Deer,
The Dog Who Wouldn’t Be,
Never Cry Wolf,
Westviking,
The Boat Who Wouldn’t Float,
Sibir,
A Whale for the Killing,
The Snow Walker,
And No Birds Sang, and
Virunga: The Passion of Dian Fossey. His short stories and articles have appeared in
The Saturday Evening Post,
Maclean’s,
Atlantic Monthly and other magazines.
