A Book of Sea Journeys, compiled by Ludovic Kennedy, is a rich anthology that chronicles some of the most dramatic and evocative voyages ever undertaken, gathering firsthand accounts, literary extracts, and historical narratives that together paint an sweeping portrait of humanity's relationship with the sea. From ancient maritime expeditions to modern ocean crossings, the collection presents voices of sailors, explorers, and adventurers who dared to trust their lives to wind and water, capturing both the terror and the transcendence of life at sea.\n\nKennedy, a celebrated British broadcaster, journalist, and writer with a lifelong connection to naval affairs, brings a masterful editorial eye to this compilation, selecting passages that resonate with authenticity and literary power. The anthology spans centuries and continents, illustrating the universal human impulse to venture beyond the horizon — and the price that impulse so often demands. For those who feel the pull of the tide, this collection is an irresistible invitation to cast off from shore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130690609371,"sku":"2026200010382-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ad48d0e9-6ae1-48ba-b1e0-7dc525b60a49.png?v=1786588486","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010382-secondhand-a-book-of-sea-journeys","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
