Books by Roald Amundsen

Nach über 90 Jahren wird hier zu seinem neunzigsten Todestag erstmals Roald Amundsens berühmte Autobiographie wieder auf Deutsch veröffentlicht.

Finding a way through the North-West Passage had defeated Arctic explorers during the nineteenth century. First published in Norwegian in 1907, and reissued here in its 1908 English translation, this copiously illustrated two-volume work by Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) recounts the first successful navigation of this challenging sea route.

On 14 December 1911, Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) and his Norwegian team became the first humans to reach the South Pole, a month before their ill-fated British rivals. Reissued here is the 1912 English translation of Amundsen's two-volume illustrated account of how this extraordinary and perilous feat was achieved.
