Excerpt from Life and Explorations of Fridtjof NansenIn this intensely prosaic age, he who would emulate the ancient deeds Of derring do, who seeks to soar in cloudland, to explore the dim mysteries of the deep, to lift the veil which hides unknown mysterious regions, or to Climb to heights untrodden by the foot Of man, is regarded by the majority Of people with something approaching an amused con tempt.The scoffer is apt to forget that much of the progress that the world has made is due to the services Of the pioneers, who, often without adequate equipment, always in face Of great and grave danger, have prepared the way for the irresistible advance Of others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
