ICI Shelf: Current Project
First Line: “The captain of the ship, Frank Worsley, would remember the day vividly ever afterward.”
Last Line: “In it, he captured both sides of this impossible story, the razor’s edge of its endeavor- success and failure in the balance, the momentous departure and the patient bravery of those left behind to wait, their hands raised boldly in a determined, resigned, and courageous farewell.”
