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.

评分感觉最多三星半吧，这个翻译实在太差劲，没用的注释标了不少，还有很多错误的注释误人子弟 。而且书中没有地图，很多场景读了好几遍也没脑补出来。尾声这部分加进来虽然多了一些成员后续，但是感觉不如不加，其他的完全可以在另一部书中提现。不过作者应该是为了证明自己，在这...
评分 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。
