The Brendan Voyage: Across the Atlantic in a… von Tim Severin

What a great read for a non-fiction book full of details. Severin, a natural storyteller, recounted their experiences as if he was writing a thriller.

The Saint's voyage lasted seven years and was recorded in the latin text titled "The Navigato."

An added bonus was the "Coles Note" or précis of "The Navigato", an account of Saint Brendan's seven year journey, in Appendix 1.… (mehr)

As ever Tim Severin brings to life historical sea journeys with his replica journeys. Indonesia is unknown to many but Tim's book provides a good glimpse of the countries, their people and the wildlife. An interesting outline of Alfred Wallace's life.

viking: king's man von Tim Severin

Maybe rating this only 2 stars is a bit harsh, but honestly I never really got along with this book. It was interesting read, but just felt dry and was a struggle to finish.
