THE KON-TIKI EXPEDITION by Thor Heyerdahl. 17th impression 1952. The story of a daring voyage by the author and five companions on board a primitive raft from the coast of Peru to the Pacific Islands. Mr. Heyerdahl was convinced that the original Polynesians had come by sea from South America, and to prove that such a voyage was possible at that remote period, he and his party built the Kon-Tiki, similar to the rafts then used, and embarked on it. A daring enterprise, indeed, and a most fascinating travel book.
