The Kon-Tiki Expedition By Raft Across the South Seas Written By Thor Heyerdahl Published 1951

The Kon-Tiki Expedition' is the enduring story of how, in 1947, Thor Heyerdahl and five companions crossed the Pacific Ocean on a balsa-wood raft in an extraordinary bid to prove Heyerdahl's theory that the Polynesians undertook the same feat on similar craft over a thousand years ago.

Updated with a new Epilogue to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the voyage, this classic tale of survival against the most insurmountable odds, with its delightful descriptions of the myriad sea life the adventurers encountered and the seafaring trials they encountered – culminating in the wreck of the 'Kon-Tiki' in the South Seas – remains one of the most fascinating and exciting expeditionary accounts ever written

This book is preowned and well loved. It has given its previous owner a great story to read and I’m sure it will do the same for the next buyer. As it was published in 1951 it has some aging about it such as yellowed pages and a few marks on the cover. There is also writing in the front cover.
