The author of this book is weak and has poor eyesight. Everything in the story happens when he is only in his twenties. He died in the nearly annals of the Antarctic Expedition and the First World War, and continued to pay for it in the rest of his life. Although he lived to 73 years old and lived a rich and substantial happy life, his experience had a great physical and mental impact on him. He once wrote: "Only a few people in the world can do what others can't. It's even more exciting to do it before the age of 30. It's very rare to have the opportunity, the ability and the strength."
Apart from 21-year-old Telgov Grand, Aspuri Cheri-Ghaled was the youngest member of Scott's unlucky expedition from 1910 to 1913. As far as I know, the only other publication he has ever written is a book titled “My Memoirs by Friends of Lawrenceâ€. He has not published other letters, diaries, memoirs or biographies. His participation in the Antarctic expedition and World War I was entirely voluntary. He experienced the Antarctic tribulation and wrote them down, but he did not write the war. He said that the Warriors he saw on the battlefield could not compare with the Antarctic expedition.
In his account of Lawrence's book, he wrote: "After that mentally and physically overwhelmed time, telling things as truthfully as possible can relax your nerves. I am based on Personal experience to write."
In my opinion, although the "Difficult Journey" was written very well, it did not allow Chery Garard's nerves to be relieved. He later experienced several mental breakdowns in the process of writing this book. But in spite of this, the tactics used in his writing are concise and clear, and sometimes they are intended to surprise readers.
He wrote at the beginning of the book: “As soon as the polar expeditions emerged, they immediately became the cleanest and most isolated ways to endure hardship.†This statement reflects the unexpected polar explorer's unexpected exploration of the polar expedition. Insights also reveal his distinctive personality.
He has the conservative and dizziness of old-fashioned English gentlemen, and his usual anger and indignation is not in the color. But his experience was so thrilling, he wrote: "We cannot describe the trip in words. No words can express those deaf people."
In the Antarctic winter of 1911 (June to July), he spent five weeks visiting Croce Point to study the life style of emperor penguins. This incident was described by Chery Garrad as a "winter trip," and its light was overwhelmed by the tragedy that followed the polar squad. Scott battled with the snowstorm for two and a half months to the extreme, but found that Lloyd Amundsen had arrived there a month ago. When Scott arrived, he saw the Norwegian flag fluttering over the South Pole. He confided in his diary: “Great God, this is a terrible place.†The challenge he faces is how to return to the camp 800 miles away. On the return trip, he and his four players were buried in a blizzard just 11 miles from the refuge. After being frozen and starved, Scott's team became a model of national heroes and British people's perseverance. At that time, Britain needed an example because the first time the war broke out soon after that. Cheri Garad joined the army after returning from the South Pole. He did not begin writing this book until the end of the war.
The "Difficult Journey" was first published in 1922 and reprinted in 1937 by Chateau Press. Penguin also published this book again in 1937. In 1943, this book was published again by the Army Book Club. In 1951, it was published again after adding new material. This book has been reprinted again and again, but its brilliance has never been obliterated because it is a true masterpiece.
People often ask me, which travel book do you like best? This question will be asked about twice in a month. My answer is almost always this book. It tells what is courage, suffering, hunger, heroism, exploration, discovery and friendship. It proved by fact that scientific exploration and travel adventures require careful planning and vivid recording of the coldest and darkest days on our planet. The book's brushwork is beautiful and profound, with subtle artistic flair. Its author is kind but his body is not very strong and his vision is very poor. He is one of the bravest men in this expedition.
Cheri Garrad was only 24 years old when he boarded Scott's "Land of the Stars" expedition. He had just graduated from Oxford University where he studied classical literature and modern history. His well-educated education was very good for him, making him capable of recording all those countless horrible experiences. One night, at a camp in a remote Antarctic, Cheli recorded a low temperature of 77°F to 5°F.
After he ended his trip to the South Pole, he wrote: "The suffering we have experienced is so much that we can't count one by one. Only madness or death can make us liberation. Then we begin to think that the original death is ours. Good friends.When we groped on the way back that night, the cold wind was still blowing violently in the darkness. Drowsiness, coldness and exhaustion made me think that falling into a ditch and falling to death seemed to me to be friendly. gift."
The book's title (referring to the original book title "The World's Toughest Journey") is slightly misleading. Although this book is about the whole process of the Scott Expedition conquering the Antarctic, the hardest of them is the winter season. Brigade. Chery Garrard and two other companions, Wilson and Bowers, have found distant emperor penguin breeding grounds. No one has previously been to Cape Croce, where penguins have gathered in the winter. There are rumors that male penguins are responsible for caring for their eggs, but what is the actual situation? As for how these eggs hatch, it is even less known. No other scientist in the world had ever received the egg of a emperor penguin, let alone anatomized it.
This is the main reason they decided to conduct this visit. Because no one has seen penguin eggs in their place of origin before that. This kind of bird spends several months each year in Krosze’s perspective. During this time they completely lived in darkness because the Antarctic winter had no sun. Most of the winter is blowing winds. On the way to the ice on the way, the fatal deep trenches criss-cross. Scott suggested that they use horses instead of dogs to pull sledges (his preference was another reason for his unsuccessful expedition), but neither the dogs nor the horses could cross the 63 miles between the scientists and the emperor penguins. In the far road, there is a cracked ice surface and a cliff in this section. It is said that these three people weighed 757 pounds of food and equipment on two sleds, and they began a three-week journey under such conditions. They endured frostbite, nightmares, hunger and exhaustion and finally heard the imperial penguins.
Hundreds of these birds are buzzing with their unique metallic voice. Cheri Garad and his two companions collected a lot of very scientific information. They noticed that the male emperor penguins are strong instinct to protect the eggs. They put the egg on top of their feet, hold it up so that it does not touch the ice, and let the eggs warm up against the folds in their abdomen. Three people eventually started their return journey with three eggs (and two other broken eggs). On their way back to the camp, they encountered many tests that almost made them die. This chapter is one of the most painful articles in the travel books I have read.
The description of details, mentality, and pace in this chapter by Chery Garrard is also the writing method in other chapters of this book. It is difficult for the world to find another person like him who is both a great explorer and an accomplished writer. Human courage is the theme throughout this book. Even if you already have some understanding of this history, this book is still worth reading. Chery Gallard's aesthetic concept can bring joy to people. The expression he uses is effective and full of passion. He rarely uses exaggerations that people forget and forget. When he uses something like "terrible" or "death like a friend," his true meaning is exactly the same. Every word he wrote down was carefully scrutinized.
He participated in the search team and after those people died six months later they found Scott's last camp. He wrote: "This scene is lingering in my memory. We first saw Wright alone leaving the road ahead and heading in the other direction. Then the dogs suddenly turned to our right. He saw something that was considered to be a sign of a stone pile, and it was a bit dark on one side, and we gradually turned from curiosity to an ominous premonition.We were both close to it and stopped, and Wright came to us. Say: 'This is a tent.' I don't know how he knew it. It looks like just a bunch of snow..."
Chery Galard wrote that Scott's adventure was not due to their masculinity being misplaced. Amundsen's expedition was for competition between nations, and Scott's motivation was mainly for scientific exploration. Antarctica represents the unknown, so despite its great danger, it must be thoroughly studied and discovered. As Cheri-Garrad wrote, "Adventure is the manifestation of human talent in terms of physicality."
In this book, he described Scott's relentless pursuit of truth. The beginning of the book wrote: "England regards Scott as a national hero rather than an ordinary person." For the first time, he also pointed out that Scott can become a very attractive person when he wants. Then he said that this complex person is not something that anyone can guess would be dictatorial and conservative. “In addition, he is still a very sensitive person. He is as sensitive as a woman to the point of becoming his character's shortcomings. Obviously, such a person as a leader almost makes disaster a necessity.†Chery Galard also pointed out Some of Scott's other weaknesses are long-term indigestion, moodiness and "several weeks of depressed mood." His final description of Scott means that the other members of the Antarctic expedition will also be in a state of depression for weeks. In describing his last comment on him, Cheri Garad said: "He cried more often than any other person I knew. It was his character and good nature that made him overcome his difficulties."
Chery Garrard insisted that Scott was a hero and expressed in his book in an extremely subtle and clever way so that people still admired his bravery in recognizing Scott's shortcomings. Cherrie Gardard also said that Scott has many advantages. One of the greatest advantages is his spirit of self-conquest, and thus he is the leader that people are willing to follow and love.
It was to understand these contradictory things in him that I read this book over and over again. In addition to telling stories, this book also discusses how to overcome many bad habits while maintaining Sven and fraternity. Cheri Galard showed the heroic spirit of the people while describing the seemingly stupid behaviors. He has very high skills in this area. It was fear and courage that created the true bravery of people. In his evaluation of Lawrence, he wrote: “Actually, in the eyes of people all over the world, Lawrence’s life is extremely courageous, but all this does not mean that he is completely shy. His own timid heart does not influence him to become a warrior.†A person who is not afraid is often a person who has no feelings, insensibility, and lack of courage. In fact, he is a fool. What makes Cheri-Garader happy is that during his most difficult moments, the winter trip, Chery’s companions still use words such as “please†and “thank you,†and his temper has not deteriorated.
Cheri’s lineage has a long history and he lives with his wife in the family’s house. He has no children. He is like a manor in many ways, but what he does has nothing to do with this role. In the last years of his life, Cheri Garad began to become interested in animal protection. He shouted to the world to protect penguins. He firmly opposed the act of hunting foxes and he did not hesitate to offend many people for this matter. He is a nearsighted person, but he regards this obvious defect as the source of his endurance.
He is always philosophical and insists on seeking truth from facts. In the last chapter, "Never Again," he wrote: "If you have a strong desire for knowledge and have the ability to express yourself in your own body, then you will explore. If you are a brave man, then what are you? You don’t have to do it; if you’re timid, you’ll have to do more, because only the cowards need to prove themselves.Someone might say you're crazy. Maybe everyone will say, “What's the use of this?†It belongs to the owner of the small owner (Napoleon's derogatory title to the English translator), and not a small shopkeeper will accept an adventure that does not give him a return in the short term, so not many people will walk with you. But for those who are brave to walk with you, this is really a very valuable thing. If you can complete a winter trip, you must be on the right path, provided that your expectations are not too high. Only penguin eggs are enough."
