Redmond O'Hanlon Pořadí knih

When Redmond O'Hanlon set out to rediscover the lost rhinoceros of Borneo, accompanied by the poet James Fenton, it was in the best tradition of nineteenth-century exploration. They were armed with backbreaking kit suitable to surviving two months in a steaming jungle of creeping, crawling and biting things; their heads brimmed with training provided by the SAS; and O'Hanlon himself had an encyclopedic knowledge of the region's flora and fauna. And yet they proceeded to have an adventure that neither O'Hanlon, his poet friend nor his guides were quite prepared for.

"Redmond, il faut que tu rappliques ici, vite. Il y a une tempête qui se prépare, et c'est du grand style ! Force 11, peut-être plus." Tel est le coup de téléphone que Redmond O'Hanlon attendait depuis onze mois. L'occasion est enfin venue de partir en mer à bord d'un chalutier des îles Orcades. Trois jours plus tard, O'Hanlon embarque sur le vieux chalutier, nous livrant ainsi un témoignage de première main sur de jeunes hommes qui vont affronter les pires conditions de travail.

Having survived Borneo, Amazonia, and the Congo, the indefatigable Redmond O’Hanlon sets off on his next his own perfect storm, in the wild waters off the northern tip of Scotland. Equipped with a fancy Nikon, an excessive supply of socks, and no seamanship whatsoever, O’Hanlon joins the commercial fishing crew of the Norlantean , a deep-sea trawler, to stock a bottomless hull with their catch, even as a hurricane roars around them. Rich in oceanography, marine biology, and uproarious humor, Trawle r is Redmond O’Hanlon at his finest.
