The Log from the Sea of Cortez

Description

In 1940 John Steinbeck sailed in a sardine boat with his friend the biologist Edward F. Ricketts to collect marine invertebrates from the beaches of the gulf of California. The day-to-day story of the trip is given in the log which combines science, philosophy and high-spirited adventure. This edition also includes Steinbeck's profile of his fellow traveller.

Nobel-Prize winning author John Steinbeck is remembered as one of the greatest and best-loved American writers of the twentieth century. His complete works will be available in Penguin Modern Classics.
