VG HB in black cloth boards, in good dj with some creasing to the flaps. Pages are age toned but without any marks or folds. . 258pp with 10 b/w plates, drawings and 4 maps. The story of Sir John Franklin's Arctic expedition, which disappeared in 1848. Clean & tight. "gives a background account of Arctic exploration from the sixteenth century onwards and sets out such facts about Franklin's disappearance as have been discovered by the v arious relief and search parties. It is an exciting and moving story in which official incompetence and indifference contrasts strongly with Lady Franklin's gallant and persistent attempts to find her husband. But 'Quest for Franklin' is not only a history and an adventure story; it is also an inquiry and an appeal. For Admiral Wright believes that the known facts have never before been properly examined and correlated, and he is suspicious of the slurs that have been cast on the highly experienced officers who led the Franklin expedition. And so he draws his own conclusions, and makes a call for a further effort to find the cache in which he is convinced there lie valuable scientific information and conclusive evidence of what happened to Franklin. (This) is indeed one of the most intriguing books ever to deal with man's pursuit of knowledge in the Arctic seas.". Nº de ref. del artículo: 000783
