Nel 1898 Joshua Slocum completò la prima circumnavigazione della Terra in solitaria. Il suo viaggio a bordo dello Spray, una barca a vela di undici metri (36 piedi), è ancora oggi considerato una delle più grandi imprese nautiche di tutti i tempi - e questo suo resoconto in prima persona del viaggio è uno dei classici senza tempo della letteratura d’avventura.Durante il suo viaggio di tre anni e 46.000 miglia (circa 74.000 km), Slocum affronta i tipi di prove che ci si aspetterebbe - tempeste, onde mostruose, secche pericolose, correnti potenti e altro ancora. Ma deve anche vedersela con di tutto, dai pirati armati di archi e frecce, a una capra clandestina, fino a villici convinti che sia l’Anticristo.La prosa di Slocum combina meravigliosamente i dettagli della sua vita quotidiana in mare con riflessioni sulle bellezze e i pericoli dell’oceano, il tutto con quel tocco di umorismo tipico di un newyorkese dell’Ottocento. È un racconto che ha incantato marinai e terricoli per più di un secolo.
