Robert Abram Bartlett is a polar explorer of the first half of the last century. Talented, professional, strong and courageous, he went down in history, of course, not because he allegedly reached a latitude of 87 ° 47 ′ on the Piri expedition to the North Pole in 1908-1909, but because he became famous for the art of sailing among the Arctic ice and, the main thing is the rescue of people from the sunken ship "Karluk" in the Chukchi Sea. And if Bartlett's professional path is somehow described, then the inner life full of intense drama - dreams, ambitions, conflicts, fame, victory over oneself and love for the North - is published in Russian for the first time in such a complete biographical work. Canadian author Maura Hanrahan has worked in the archives of three countries to tell the reader the truth behind the myth called "Robert Bartlett". Maura Hanrahan's book is modern and interesting; this is a historical story about the great ice captain Robert Bartlett, who is little known in Russia. His own book The Log of Bartlett has not been translated into Russian; the book about Bartlett by the Canadian writer Harold Horvoord Bartlett: The Great Canadian Explorer, reprinted several times in Canada, was not published in Russia. The introductory article to the book was written by Dmitry Shparo, who in 1972 crossed the Long Strait on skis with four friends - along the Bartlett path, however, in the opposite direction: from the coast of Chukotka to Wrangel Island. The book will be of interest to anyone who is passionate about the Arctic, the history of the development of the North and the biographies of the charismatic heroes of this story.
