Kon-Tiki ekspeditionen
A Travel, Biography, Adventure book. The Kon-Tiki expedition opened my eyes to what the ocean really is....
Da den norske etnolog og zoolog Thor Heyerdahl og hans fem mand store besætning i 1947 stak til havs på Kon-Tiki, en flåde af ni sammensurrede balsastammer, var det for at bevise Heyerdahls påstand om, at befolkningen på Polynesien oprindelig var udvandret fra Sydamerika.Flådefærden over Stillehavet - en strækning på otte tusinde kilometer, i stormvejr og vindstille - kom til at vare et hundrede og et døgn, inden Kon-Tiki stødte på grund på en ubeboet koralø. Men Thor Heyerdahl fik bevist sin omstridte teori: at balsaflåden var tilstrækkelig sødygtig til så lang en rejse, og at polyneserne derfor kunne have ret, når de hævdede, at deres forfædre fandt en tidligere befolkning på øerne.

Absolutely loved this book, read it the first time when i was about 10, and then again about a year ago. Thor Heyerdahl has a way of telling the story that makes it about impossible to put the book down. He writes in a frank and intimate style, at times getting slightly off topic but still very enjoyable. The accounts of the crew and... This may even have been one of the first books I really loved - I read it as a kid growing up in San Jose and was so taken by the crazy, quixotic beauty of it all, trying to cross the Pacific in a raft to see if men could have done the same thing centuries earlier. I can't really comment on the writing, it having been decades since... This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The true story of a man's unwavering belief in his theory of the peopling of the South Pacific and the courage to risk his own life to prove it.
