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.

评分上世纪五十年代，来自挪威的年轻学者海雅达尔认为太平洋中心的法属波利尼西亚群岛原住民也许来自南美沿海，但他的理论没人相信，因为太平洋上的四千海里，南美人的木筏似乎难以逾越。 海雅达尔不信这个邪，他要亲自实践理论，用三个月时间，依靠一艘没有动力的原木木筏驶达波利...
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。
