Description

A first edition, first printing of South by Ernest Shackleton.

  • Ernest Shackleton (Irish).
  • London: Heinemann, 1919.
  • Accompanied by the Heinemann Advertising Postcard.


A gripping account of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–1917), led by Shackleton.


The book details the incredible survival story of Shackleton and his crew after their ship, the *Endurance*, was trapped and crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, Shackleton led a daring open-boat journey to seek rescue, ultimately saving all 28 men without loss of life.


Blending adventure, leadership, and resilience, ‘South’ is a powerful testament to human endurance, courage, and the unbreakable will to survive against overwhelming odds.
