1st edition. Hardcover. Signed by the author on the front endpaper. Fine brown cloth with gilt spine lettering, very clean pages and plates, in a very near fine dustjacket, tiny internal corner and spine end repairs, not price-clipped. An unusually nice first impression of the author's classic account of his 5, 000-mile journey on a primitive balsa-wood raft across the Pacific Ocean from Peru to the Tuamotu Islands in 1947, with five fellow-voyagers, to try to demonstrate that the earliest settlers in Polynesia had come from South America. Very scarce with his signature.

from Peru to Polynesia on a balsa raft
See what can be done with some balsa wood and a lot of dedication. Take a cruise across the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia that proves a previously scorned theory that the peoples of the Pacific isles came from the Americas. This 100 day adventure will teach you about the sea and the power of blessings. Set sail with the international crew of six!

THE epic journey of the 20th century
It would be hard to estimate the impact of this story on the imaginations of many an adventurist soul in the 50+ years of its publication.
Anthropology meets daring sailing expidition. In an era purporting the sanctity of the scientist's laboratory as ultimate authority, Thor Heyerdahl and his scandinavian crew give life to his dream and prove that the larger world is the laboratory we live in.
This account of 103 day crossing the Pacific ocean on a balsa-log raft is a must read, not just for adventurists or sailors, but for anyone with a dream.
