The Worst Journey in the World: Ranked number 1 in National Geographic’s 100 Best Adventure Books of All Time

Apsley Cherry-Garrard

‘When people ask me… What is your favourite travel book? I nearly always name this book. It is about courage, misery, starvation, heroism, exploration, discovery and friendship’ Paul Theroux

One of the world’s greatest works of travel and adventure writing, reissued on its 100th birthday.

This is a gripping account of an expedition gone disastrously wrong. Apsley Cherry-Garrard, one of the youngest members of Scott’s team, recorded the experience of his adventure and in doing so created a masterpiece of travel writing. Despite the horrors that Scott and his men faced, Cherry’s account is filled with details of scientific discovery, unforgettable descriptions of landscape and a belief in the spirit of human beings. A celebrated and compelling book on Antarctic exploration.
