Recensioni
There's a reason this book isn't as well-known as Slocum's excellent Sailing Alone around the World; it just isn't as interesting. After being shipwrecked in Brazil, Slocum builds what he calls a "canoe" (a small sailboat" to sail home with his family.) The shipwreck itself is only about halfway through this very short book, and much of the actual voyage of the Liberdade is just a series of dates and ports. There's certainly no reason to avoid it, but it's not nearly as good as Sailing Alone around the World.
