Publisher's Synopsis
Adventure!, first published in 1931, is a collection of stories recounting the travels of renowned explorer Carveth Wells (1887-1957). Wells, whose personal mottoes of "Carpe diem" - "Sieze the Day!" - and "The Lord will provide!" characterized his exuberant approach to life. From the Arctic to tropical Africa, from lion attacks to unusual sea creatures, Wells' stories are told with a sense of wonder and a dose of humor, and remain an inspiration to anyone aspiring to break free of the confines of a sedentary life. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
