Living Dangerously

Fiennes, Sir Ranulph

Biographies & Memoirs

Macmillan

First published in 1987, this book takes Ranulph Fiennes from his South African boyhood and army career to the series of breathtaking expeditions which have justly earned him the title of " the world`s greatest living explorer" . Since then, however, his determination to seek new challenges and, more importantly, to conquer them has led him to attempt to reach the North Pole without dogs or motorized equipment, to find the lost city of Ubar, hidden in the Arabian desert, and most recently, his extraordinary journey across the Antarctic to the South Pole. Writing with honesty and good humour, Ranulph Fiennes gives us a taste of the excitement, the hardship, the vital teamwork and the sheer courage that is the life of the modern explorer. He is an English hero in the classic mould - a man of whom it can be said that he has been everywhere and done everything.

Genealogy

At the beginning of the last century, reaching the South Pole was the greatest terrestrial journey left to man. By the spring of 1912, the race was over—Robert Falcon Scott was dead and Roald Amundsen, the victor, was on his way home. Ever since, a debate has raged over whether Scott was an arrogant incompetent or whether he was the victim of bad luck. This book attempts to answer the question by re-running the race. Two teams, among the world’s greatest adventurers, will be equipped entirely in the style of the original expeditions. The difference will be that both teams will start at the same time and from points within ten kilometers of each other. Now, for the first time, it will be possible to see whether it was luck or judgment that led Amundsen to victory and Scott to his death.

Behind its discreet if imposing facade in London's Pall Mall, the Travellers Club has long been known to the wits of nearby Whitehall as the Foreign Office canteen. And suspected by some to be a meeting-place of MI5. Or is it MI6? This quintessential English gentleman's club counts however amongst its twelve hundred-odd members not only foreign officers accredited or covert but also statesmen, businessmen, newsmen and explorers, lawyers, judges, academics and clerics, archeologists and art experts, soldiers, sailors, authors, accountants, bankers, doctors and a dental surgeon. And, as this collection shows, many part-time men of letters. Their tales cover every continent - from the Arctic to Antarctica; from Australia, Arabia and America to Oxford and Savile Row; the Far East and the Middle East, Eastern Europe, East Africa and the East End; atop Everest or Etna and (frequently) under arrest. Former ambassadors, consuls and foreign correspondents provide behind-the-scenes insights into some of the twentieth century's most memorable events. Its personalities are the subject of tales by Club members with enviable, top-level access. From Beijing to Barking the authors' adventures are multifarious - and often hilarious. There is here, as one contributor writes, high-life, low-life and no-life. Banquets contrast with the bleakness of life under Communism, the boredom of post-colonial Aden. Romance glows in highly unromantic places. Travellers are trussed like chickens and tossed into trains; command armies, record Maria Callas and edit Evelyn Waugh; encounter gunmen in Moscow and guerillas in Dhofar, risque security risks, recalcitrant vehicles and implacable officialdom . . . From Patrick Leigh Fermor's evocations of antiquity to a near-assassination in Iraq, More Tales from the Travellers is a celebration of that very British being, a gentleman abroad. This collection is a sequel to Travellers' Tales which was published in 1999.
