Příběh, jaký by napsala Agatha Christie, kdyby chtěla, aby byl její hrdina Čech s krizí středního věku. Více informací

Henry â€˜Birdieâ€™ Bowers realised his lifeâ€™s ambition when he was selected for Captain Scottâ€™s Terra Nova expedition to the Antarctic, yet he also met his death on the journey. Born to a sea-faring father and adventurous mother on the Firth of Clyde, Bowersâ€™ boyhood obsession with travel and adventure took him round the world several times and his life appears, with hindsight, to have been a ceaseless preparation for his ultimate, Antarctic challenge. Although just 5ft 4in, he was a bundle of energy; knowledgeable, indefatigable and the ultimate team player. In Scottâ€™s words, he was â€˜a marvelâ€™. This new biography, drawing on Bowersâ€™ letters, journals and previously neglected material, sheds new light on Bowers and tells the full story of the hardy naval officer who could always lift his companionsâ€™ spirits.
