HTML:<p>How did a big-game fishing trip rudely interrupted by sharks inspire one of the key scenes in Hemingway's <i>The Old Man and the Sea</i>? How did Robert Louis Stevenson's cruise to the cannibal-infested South Sea islands prove instrumental in his writing of <i>The Beach of Falesa</i> and <i>The Ebb Tide</i>? How did Masefield survive Cape Horn and a near-nervous breakdown to write <i>Sea Fever</i>?</p> <p>The waters of this world have swirled through storytelling ever since the Celts spun the tale of <i>Beowulf</i> and Homer narrated <i>The Odyssey</i>. This enthralling book takes us on a tour of the most dangerous, exciting and often eccentric escapades of literature's sailing stars, and how these true stories inspired and informed their best-loved works. Arthur Ransome, Erskine Childers, Jack London and many others are featured as we find out how extraordinary fact fed into unforgettable fiction.</p>. Media Type: eBook.
