THE VOYAGE OF THE NARWHAL

Book ID/图书代码： 14320007B15520

English Summary/英文概要： "A great, shivery, seductive read." Elle Intelligent, accessible literary fiction of the highest order. Superbly dramatic and beautifully readable. A terrific tale of high endeavour and polar peril, this is the story of a scientific expedition to the Arctic in 1855 and the women the explorers left behind. A brilliant portrait of Victorian society obsessed with mapping and classifying everything under the sun -- including the icy Arctic -- where the emancipation of women and the evolution of species are the next great revolutions just stirring into life.

Awards/获奖情况："A luminous work of historical fiction that explores the far reaches of the Arctic and of men’s souls." ―Denver Post

Capturing a crucial moment in the history of exploration―the mid-nineteenth century romance with the Arctic―Andrea Barrett’s compelling novel tells the story of a fateful expedition. Through the eyes of the ship’s scholar-naturalist, Erasmus Darwin Wells, we encounter the Narwhal’s crew, its commander, and the far-north culture of the Esquimaux. In counterpoint, we meet the women left behind in Philadelphia, explorers only in imagination. Together, those who travel and those who stay weave a web of myth and mystery, finally discovering what they had not sought, the secrets of their own hearts.
