    About this ebook

    Great writings about adventure, danger, and survival—from fiction classics to the official report on the Titanic.
     
    Including both fiction and nonfiction, this collection is a fascinating read for those who imagine testing their mettle in an ice-encrusted boat with Ernest Shackleton, searching for the Northwest Passage with Franklin’s doomed crew, or battling angry pirates. You’ll find true accounts by stoic and hardy sailors who persevered in the face of travails that would have given even Job pause—as well as vivid and exciting fiction by Jack London, Herman Melville, Arthur Conan Doyle, and more.

    Herman Melville

    Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet who received wide acclaim for his earliest novels, such as Typee and Redburn, but fell into relative obscurity by the end of his life. Today, Melville is hailed as one of the definitive masters of world literature for novels including Moby Dick and Billy Budd, as well as for enduringly popular short stories such as Bartleby, the Scrivener and The Bell-Tower.
