About This Item
London: Little, Brown & Company, 1997. 1st p/b ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white drawings, colour photos centre spread, map, spine faintly creased (top little chipped), slight crease front cover, minor edgewear. 267 pp. (The Spice Islands Voyage: In Search of Wallace, by Tim Severin, Little Brown, 1997.) About a journey and a quest: an equatorial journey among the Spice Islands of Indonesia aboard a traditional native sailing vessel - a quest to rediscover a remarkable Englishman whose wandering in the archipelago changed the way we see the natural world. The author used Alfred Russel Wallace's book âThe Malay Archipelago' as a guide. This fascinating book is a singular travel book, a unique blend of biography, ecology, history and adventure. It bears witness to the many heroic achievements of one of the great Victorian scientist-explorers.
