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20多余前的某天，我是在上小学，抑或是刚刚升入初中已经忘了。在明姐的家里偶然翻得一本书，蓝色的皮子上有大海、小船和正正印着的四个字：“孤筏重洋”。 那时我正是个什么都看的书蟑螂类型。从自然辩证法概论、UFO调查报告直到清宫秘史、新婚生活指南之类一概逃不过瘦弱少年...
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 评分看到这部书时，我第一想到的是《海底两万里》，那是我看过的第一部海洋小说，情节那么跌宕起伏，那么惊险和新奇。 但这部不需要这些矫情的悬疑，没有虐心的团队关系，没有秘密特工，没有特别奇怪新奇的海洋现象，没有超越想象科幻的惊险场面。 读起来却让我欲罢不能，情节真实...
