The Solitary Slocum,
biographic novel.


Joshua Slocum's solo voyage around the world in his 37-foot sloop the Spray, 1895, undoubtedly stands as one of the greatest sea adventures of all time.

This thoroughly researched biography of the most famous of all sailors, delves into the subtleties of Slocum's personality and exposes aspects of his character not evident in his own autobiographical works.
The Solitary Slocum is far more than a chronological record of the exploits of the first single-handed circumnavigator of the earth, whose life still fascinates sailors. It is also a psychological investigation o f a man representative of his era, the forerunner of our own: "A man alone, without God and fearful of his mortality."


(Nimbus 1992)
