Adventure & the Sea
Classic adventure novels, in modern English.
Wide horizons and long odds: the ship that does not come back, the map with a cross on it, the man who walks out of a comfortable life and into weather. Adventure was the century’s most popular literature and its most underrated — these books move because their authors knew exactly how much to withhold. Each Aeneas Press edition presents the complete work with spelling and punctuation in present-day American usage, illustrated with credited full-page plates.
