Product Description

Literary review
"a damn good read" --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review
definitive...Max Jones and the publishers are to be congratulated on this new version of a classic story, and for offering it at such a reasonable price. It should be the last word for a very long time. (Polar Record 42 )

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and not to be missed..., 9 Mar 2008
By Miseri57 (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journals: Captain Scott's Last Expedition (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
Even though the text in Scott's writings have been, occasionally, `tampered' with by modifying the most hurtful remarks made against his men, this journal lists changes made and cites them at the back.

For me, Scott's greatest talent was his literary skill even though on occasion he seems to be writing to different audiences; including times when he appears to be writing to himself.

A superb lyrical account and first hand insight into moments of optimism, joy, passion, bravery, frustration, hope, misery and death.

4.0 out of 5 stars Emotive, 25 May 2009
This book was a very interesting read but evoked feelings of deep sadness knowing the ultimate outcome. Scott's personality comes through his writing and left me rather disillusioned, however, the bravery and forebearance of his team was incredible. The lives the dogs and horses from the start to their end was heartbreaking. All in all a tragic story but enlightening.
