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...
评分以下是我2002年的一篇旧文。与海雅达尔有关，曾在西祠发过，也曾在http://www.douban.com/subject/1322852/下发表，今晚看看，也许发在这个地方更合适。因为我原本读的就是这本书，海子自杀卧轨时带着的，也应该是这本。 －－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 2002.4.21 ...

评分复活节岛位于波利尼西亚群岛的最东方，因岛上的巨大石像而出名。那么这些石像是谁建造的呢？太平洋岛民的祖先又来自哪儿？ 有一个挪威小伙子托尔・海尔达尔，他提出了大胆的猜想：波利尼西亚群岛上的文化与南美洲原住民的文化同源，包括崇拜共同的神、相似的词汇与石刻艺术等...
