Sailing Alone around the World recounts Slocum’s wonderful adventures: hair-raising encounters
with pirates off Gibraltar and savage Indians in Tierra del Fuego; raging tempests and treacherous
coral reefs; flying fish for breakfast in the Pacific; and a hilarious visit with fellow explorer Henry
 Stanley in South Africa. A century later, Slocum’s incomparable book endures as one of the
greatest narratives of adventure ever written.
