Description:Frank Hurley’s “Endurance” diaries edited and annotated by Shane Murphy. A book in electronic form on CD-ROM in Acrobat READER. Shackleton’s Photographer is laid out like any other book except it’s on a CD and has to be viewed on a computer screen. But this electronic book doesn’t have to be read on a computer. It’s whole contents are fully printable.Formatted as a photo-diary, Shackleton’s Photographer is a richly illustrated biography of the life, times, and personality of Frank Hurley and the “Endurance” expedition. Complete with 250 historic color photographs, maps, diagrams and other curiosities; Foreword; Afterword; eight appendices; comprehensive endnotes; samples of Hurley’s early post-card work; bibliography. 341 pages.The story of Shackleton’s glorious failure is told through the diaries of Frank Hurley, expedition photographer. Of greater interest is that Murphy’s account incorporates the observations of a dozen other expedition members, portraying them in Hurley’s hand as well. This unique treatment has resulted in a thorough day-by-day account, massive in scope, detail and interest, colorful in presentation and sometimes, perhaps, too graphic in its telling.It’s all here, every day of the expedition. From the instant Hurley arrives in Buenos Aires the reader accompanies him aboard the Endurance, to South Georgia Island and onward to the Weddell Sea, where the ship is locked immovably in the ice and eventually crushed in its grip. Forced to live in tents on the drifting ice for five months, Shackleton’s men overcome all odds, eventually reaching desolate Elephant Island after a grueling 7-day boat trip. Almost immediately Shackleton and 5 others set off on the most remarkable boat journey in history—included here is Frank Worsley’s verbatim “James Caird” journal which has never been published in its entirety, and his account of the historic march across South Georgia Island with Shackleton and Crean. Meanwhile, on Elephant Island, Hurley and his comrades await swift rescue ... which arrives five terrible months later and only just in time. Shackleton and his men then tour South America in triumph, following which Hurley sails to London where, deciding his photographic record is incomplete, he travels once more to South Georgia Island to capture scenes of animal life. Again returning to London, he is appointed official photographer to the Australian Imperial Force in France.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
