There is nothing like a sea story to entertain, thrill, move, shock, or inspire a reader, and this collection will do just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is it about the sea that lends itself to so many indelibly classic stories? The sea is a wonderful stage on which to unroll a dramatic narrative or introduce a heroic character. It's no wonder so many masterpieces are set on the seas of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom sublime moments gunkholing with Erskine Childers in \"An Introduction to Informality,\" to sheer terror with the ill-fated men among sharks in Raymond B. Lech's \"The Loss of the Indianapolis,\" to astounding respect for the endurance of Ernest Shackleton and his storm-tossed men in \"Escape from the Ice,\" there is simply nothing that can compare to what awaits in this collection of twenty-eight thrilling stories. Many, having withstood the test of time and the vagaries of popular culture, are classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassic or not, the stories in this collection are good reading--breathtaking, entertaining, and offering myriad unexpected pleasures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom McCarthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493060031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493060030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyons Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.17h x 6.35w x 1.35d","brand":"Tom McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043035902207,"sku":"9781493060030","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f61accc-e0eb-4964-a4d8-e64999d0b4bb.jpg?v=1684964907","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sea-stories-tom-mccarthy-9781493060030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
