Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Sea in Former Days: Narratives of Wreck and Rescue The experiences of those that go down to the sea in ships have ever been of the greatest interest to young readers. Stories of shipwreck, famine, mutiny, and the other misfortunes which befall the mariner, always will be appreciated by all who love to read of deeds of daring, and to ponder on the lessons which may be drawn from them. They may serve as examples to be imitated in times of necessity; of dangers, once en countered, to be afterwards avoided; or as beacons to indicate the rocks and shoals which beset nearly every path in life. In the present volume will be found narratives of occurrences, such as the ever-memorable mutiny of the Bounty, which have become historical, and many others of equal interest. They have been compiled from authentic sources; and it is hoped that they will be read with that attention which is ever roused by the perusal of true stories of suffering and courage under trying circumstances.

Download or read book Stories of the Sea written by Diana Secker Tesdell and published by Everyman Paperback Classics. This book was released on 2010 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic adventure stories by Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, Stephen Crane, Robert Louis Stevenson and Jack London mix with marvellously imaginative tales by Isak Dinesen, Patricia Highsmith and J. G. Ballard. Robert Olen Butler explores the memories of a Titanic victim who has become part of the sea that swallowed him; Ray Bradbury's 'The Fog Horn' summons something primeval and lonely from the ocean depths; John Updike's lovers retrace the route of Homer's Odyssey on a cruise ship. From Edgar Allan Poe's dramatic 'A Descent into the Maelstrom' to Ernest Hemingway's chilling 'After the Storm', the stories here are as wide-ranging and entrancing as the sea itself.

Book excerpt: The miraculous account of the man who survived alone and adrift at sea longer than anyone in recorded history. For fourteen months, Alvarenga survived constant shark attacks. He learned to catch fish with his bare hands. He built a fish net from a pair of empty plastic bottles. Taking apart the outboard motor, he fashioned a huge fishhook. Using fish vertebrae as needles, he stitched together his own clothes. Based on dozens of hours of interviews with Alvarenga and interviews with his colleagues, search and rescue officials, the medical team that saved his life and the remote islanders who nursed him back to health, this is an epic tale of survival. Print run 75,000.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of his #1 New York Times bestseller Make Your Bed, which has sold over one million copies, Admiral William H. McRaven is back with amazing stories of bravery and heroism during his career as a Navy SEAL and commander of America's Special Operations Forces. Admiral William H. McRaven is a part of American military history, having been involved in some of the most famous missions in recent memory, including the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, and the raid to kill Osama bin Laden. Sea Stories begins in 1963 at a French Officers' Club in France, where Allied officers and their wives gathered to have drinks and tell stories about their adventures during World War II-the place where a young Bill McRaven learned the value of a good story. Sea Stories is an unforgettable look back on one man's incredible life, from childhood days sneaking into high-security military sites to a day job of hunting terrorists and rescuing hostages. Action-packed, humorous, and full of valuable life lessons like those exemplified in McRaven's bestselling Make Your Bed, Sea Stories is a remarkable memoir from one of America's most accomplished leaders.
