Palin, Michael - Pole to Pole - ( Item 140533 )

Published in London by Folio Society. 2022. First Printing. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Fine slipcase. With a new introduction by the author. Pole to Pole is Michael Palin's account of his epic journey from the Arctic to Antarctic, via the USSR, Africa and South America: a classic adventure in a beautiful Folio Society edition, with superb original photography. Pole to Pole is Michael Palin's legendary account account of an extraordinary journey from the North to the South Pole. His challenge was to follow the 30°E longitude line by land and sea, taking to the air only as a last resort. In the gruelling six-month trek, Palin covered 23,000 miles across 17 countries, including Norway, Russia and Ukraine (at the time, both part of the USSR), Turkey, Egypt, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Chile. Opening with a new introduction by the author, in which he recalls his childhood dreams of far-off lands and legendary adventurers, this lavish Folio edition includes 24 pages of colour photography – a rich compendium of landscapes, nations and people, bookended by shots of Palin standing alone at each extremity of the earth. The newly redrawn maps are the work of illustrator Sara Mulvanny, whose whimsical cover design shows every mode of transport used in the trip. Frank, perceptive and very funny, Pole to Pole is an epic journey with the most engaging of travel companions. PRODUCTION DETAILS. Bound in printed cloth with a design by Sara Mulvanny. Set in Meridien with FreightSans Pro as display. 320 pages. 24 pages of colour plates, mono motifs throughout. 5 mono maps. Printed slipcase. 9.5" x 6.25". ISBN: None .
