具体描述
Kon-Tiki is the record of an astonishing adventure -- a journey of 4,300 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean by raft. Intrigued by Polynesian folklore, biologist Thor Heyerdahl suspected that the South Sea Islands had been settled by an ancient race from thousands of miles to the east, led by a mythical hero, Kon-Tiki. He decided to prove his theory by duplicating the legendary voyage.
On April 28, 1947, Heyerdahl and five other adventurers sailed from Peru on a balsa log raft. After three months on the open sea, encountering raging storms, whales, and sharks, they sighted land -- the Polynesian island of Puka Puka.
Translated into sixty-five languages, Kon-Tiki is a classic, inspiring tale of daring and courage -- a magnificent saga of men against the sea.
Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Kon-Tiki has been prepared by an editorial committee headed by Harry Shefter, professor of English at New York University. It includes a foreword by the author, a selection of critical excerpts, notes, an index, and a unique visual essay of the voyage.

评分毎次，当我在地图的角落里捜寻出偏远的旅行目的地的时候，总有人问我是怎么找到的。我都会说旅行要靠想象力，我是从小就受到索尓．海尔达尔招唤的人。第一次读这本书是一九八四年，当时年纪小，一下子就被震撼到了。
评分这本书读得有点快，不写点什么东西记录下自己的感受，估计很快就忘了。本来以为是一个虚构的航海故事，后来发现是一个人类学的纪实。小说的前一部分内容很简单，作者用诙谐而轻松的笔调在将自己是如何找到造木法的木头的。奥尔巴赫宰《摹仿论》中讨论过文本时间和现实时间之间...
