**A Guardian and Observer Nonfiction Book of 2024** 'One of those very special books that makes you put everything on hold so you can get back to it' RACHEL JOYCE What begins as an eccentric English love story turns into one of the most dramatic adventures ever recorded... Maurice and Maralyn couldn't be more different. He is as cautious and awkward as she is charismatic and forceful. It seems an unlikely romance, but it works. Bored of 1970s suburban life, Maralyn has an idea: sell the house, build a boat, leave England -- and its oil crisis, industrial strikes and inflation -- forever. It is hard work, turning dreams into reality, but finally they set sail for New Zealand. Then, halfway there, their beloved boat is struck by a whale and the pair are cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. On their tiny raft, their love is put to the test. When Maurice begins to withdraw into himself, it falls upon Maralyn to keep them both alive. Filled with danger, spirit, and tenderness, this is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive -- not just at sea, but in life. **A Waterstones Book You Need To Read in 2024** 'Beautiful, moving and genuinely unputdownable' JOANNA CANNON 'Extraordinary . . . Elmhirst is a terrific writer' ELIZABETH DAY

118 Tage schiffbrüchig: ein spektakuläres Abenteuer neu entdeckt Hübsches Reihenhaus, sicheres Einkommen, ideale Voraussetzungen für die Gründung einer Familie: Maurice und Maralyn Bailey führen ein gewöhnliches Vorstadtleben im England der 1960er-Jahre, als sie beschließen sich von gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen zu befreien, all ihr Hab und Gut zu verkaufen und mit einem Segelboot um die Welt zu reisen – von Südengland bis nach Neuseeland. Als sie im Frühsommer 1972 in See stechen, finden sie schnell Gefallen an ihrem Aussteigerleben, schließen neue Freundschaften, verbringen Weihnachten in der Karibik. Dann die Katastrophe: Am 4. März 1973 – mitten im Pazifik, auf dem Weg zu den Galapagos-Inseln – wird ihr Boot von einem Wal gerammt und schlägt irreparabel leck. Mit einem Vorrat an Verpflegung, der ihren Berechnungen zufolge für 20 Tage auf See reichen wird, flüchten sie sich auf ihr Rettungsschlauchboot. Am Ende werden 118 Tage bis zu ihrer Rettung vergehen; vier Monate, in denen sie Hunger, Durst, Hitze, Kälte, Krankheit und Sturm trotzen – und dabei doch Momente vollkommenen Glücks im Einklang mit der Natur erleben. Die britische Journalistin Sophie Elmhirst hat das lange vergessene Abenteuer des Ehepaars Bailey neu entdeckt und schreibt mit Maurice und Maralyn eine zeitlose Geschichte von Freiheit und Individualität, Liebe und Abhängigkeit, Verzweiflung und Überlebenswillen.

"Teach Us to Sit Still is the visceral, thought-provoking, and inexplicably entertaining story of how Tim Parks found himself in serious pain, how doctors failed to help, and the quest he took to find his own way out. Overwhelmed by a crippling conditionwhich nobody could explain or relieve, Parks follows a fruitless journey through the conventional medical system only to find relief in the most unexpected place: a breathing exercise that eventually leads him to take up meditation. This was the very last place Parks anticipated finding answers; he was about as far from New Age as you can get. As everything that he once held true is called into question, Parks confronts the relationship between his mind and body, the hectic modern world that seems to demand all our focus, and his chosen life as an intellectual and writer. He is drawn to consider the effects of illness on the work of other writers, the role of religion in shaping our sense of self, and the influence of sports and art on our attitudes toward health and well-being. Most of us will fall ill at some point; few will describe that journey with the same verve, insight, and radiant intelligence as Tim Parks"--Provided by publisher.

Before The Perfect Storm, before In the Heart of the Sea, Steven Callahan’s dramatic tale of survival at sea was on the New York Times bestseller list for more than thirty-six weeks. In some ways the model for the new wave of adventure books, Adrift is an undeniable seafaring classic, a riveting firsthand account by the only man known to have survived more than a month alone at sea, fighting for his life in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized only six days out. “Utterly absorbing” (Newsweek), Adrift is a must-have for any adventure library.

In this extraordinary adventure, a reluctant visitor to the Arctic thrives in the awesome and unforgiving landscape. In 1933, Christiane Ritter, a painter from Austria, travelled to Spitsbergen, an Arctic island north of Norway, to be with her husband. He had been taking part in a scientific expedition and stayed on to hunt and fish. “Leave everything as it is and follow me to the Arctic,” he wrote to his wife; but for Christiane, “as for all central Europeans, the Arctic was just another word for freezing and forsaken solitude. I did not follow at once.” Eventually she gave in, lured by his compelling stories about the remarkable wildlife and alluring light shows. She says: “They told of journeys by water and over ice, of the animals and the fascination of the wilderness, of the strange light over the landscape, of the strange illumination of one’s own self in the remoteness of the polar night. In his descriptions there was practically never any mention of cold or darkness, of storms or hardships.”

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.
