Acerca de esta escucha

"...Damron's able narration carries listeners through this arduous journey with a steady tone that lightens at moments of joy and becomes grave at times of deep sadness and loss. While the tale has all of the trappings of a great adventure novel, neither the author nor Damron let listeners forget that the toll here was real, human, and significant."- Booklist

"Will Damron sweeps listeners onto the Arctic ice with the shipwrecked crew of the Canadian KARLUK."- AudioFile

The true, harrowing story of the ill-fated 1913 Canadian Arctic Expedition and the two men who came to define it.

In the summer of 1913, the wooden-hulled brigantine Karluk departed Canada for the Arctic Ocean. At the helm was Captain Bob Bartlett, considered the world’s greatest living ice navigator. The expedition’s visionary leader was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson hungry for fame.

Just six weeks after the Karluk departed, giant ice floes closed in around her. As the ship became icebound, Stefansson disembarked with five companions and struck out on what he claimed was a 10-day caribou hunting trip. Most on board would never see him again.

Twenty-two men and an Inuit woman with two small daughters now stood on a mile-square ice floe, their ship and their original leader gone. Under Bartlett’s leadership they built make-shift shelters, surviving the freezing darkness of Polar night. Captain Bartlett now made a difficult and courageous decision. He would take one of the young Inuit hunters and attempt a 1000-mile journey to save the shipwrecked survivors. It was their only hope.

Set against the backdrop of the Titanic disaster and World War I, filled with heroism, tragedy, and scientific discovery, Buddy Levy's Empire of Ice and Stone tells the story of two men and two distinctively different brands of leadership: one selfless, one self-serving, and how they would forever be bound by one of the most audacious and disastrous expeditions in polar history, considered the last great voyage of The Heroic Age of Discovery.

Incredible and engrossing.

Very amazing story of polar exploration in the age of exploration. It is a story of courage and survival.
Captain Bartlett was an incredible leader, second only to Shakelton. It is a must listen to anyone who loves tales of exploration.

Eoic!

As a connoisseur of non-fiction survival stories, this book ranks in my top 3. Only surpassed (barely)by Endurance and In The Kingdom of Ice. The author kept things very concise and did a fantastic job putting you on the ice. There was never a moment I was not glued to this audio… narrator was superb.

Loved it!

I loved Empire of Ice and Stone! It was a great story about “as long as there is life there is hope”, the story was also a great story about be selfless and go out of your way to save lives! And it was a great story about how we as human beings are capable of being very strong no matter the conditions. Definitely recommend it!

Fascinating Tale!

Buddy Levy with another superb telling of a epic adventure that puts the toughness and potential of the human mind and body on display. Pulling from journals and diaries of the members of the expedition, Levy masterfully reconstructs the story in grand detail. I am already looking forward to the next one from Buddy Levy!

Captivating

I am nothing less that astounded at this amazing story. I have been a fan of Shackleton. Now I am a fan of Bartlett! Thank you for taking the time to research this story of exploration that the world should know about! What courage!

Incredible story of heroism

I was unable to put this book down. It was well written and narrated.
Many novels are not as gripping as this story. L couldn’t stop listening to it. A true story of heroism, integrity and the ability of a group of men and women to overcome incredible obstacles.
