Pressestimmen
“Utterly fascinating...Wheeler has given us an important new understanding of the most notorious calamity in the annals of twentieth-century exploration. Cherry is a wonderful book.” —Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air“Beautifully written...Wheeler’s vocabulary to evoke this luminous and cruel continent...appears limitless.” —Caroline Alexander, The New York Times Book Review“Spellbinding...Cherry is an exquisite work.” —The Washington Post“Accomplishes what only the best biographies can....She is able to satisfy the reader’s curiosity of how it must have felt to be on that doomed expedition.” —The Times (London)“With this wonderful biography Sara Wheeler has now vaulted into the front rank of modern British writers....Cherry is so much more than a story of one remarkable man. It is, among other things, an exploration of the mind, a tour through the notions of national identity and pride, and a celebration of the tensile strength of the human spirit.” —Simon Winchester
Klappentext
y-Garrard was one of the youngest members of Robert Falcon Scott’s legendary expedition to Antarctica, the last man sent out to meet Captain Scott and his men in February 1912, when they were expected to return victorious any day from the South Pole. He embarked on his own epic journey into the Antarctic winter to collect eggs of the Emperor penguin. It was dark all the time, his teeth shattered, and the tent blew away in the cold. “But we kept our tempers,” he wrote, “even with God.”After serving in the First World War, with zealous encouragement from his neighbor George Bernard Shaw, Cherry wrote the undisputed masterpiece of polar literature, The Worst Journey in the World. But as the years progressed, he faced a terrible struggle against depression and despair. Sara Wheeler’s Cherry is the first biography of this great hero of Antarctic exploration, written with unrestricted access to his papers and with the full cooperation of his family.

I had heard some time ago that Wheeler was working on a biography of 'Cherry'. I was particularly interested because her 'Terra Incognita' is one of my favorite books about Antarctica. She is an excellent writer and did a good job there of inter-weaving her own experiences with some history of exploration in the area.Once again, I'm impressed with her writing ability. And, she does an excellent job giving us some insight into this conflicted, interesting man. I found the section on the publicity following their return to New Zealand fascinating. I knew that Cherry-Garrard castigated himself, for the rest of his life, about not having gone against orders by proceeding farther than One Ton Depot to look for the returning party. But, I had no idea how negative some of the comments/publicity were at that time. Those accounts gave me a better insight into how difficult it would have been not to be self-critical--even for someone who did not have those tendencies--as Cherry-Garrard certainly did.Wheeler also includes comments from others' diaries that I had not heard before. It is impossible to sort out everything now, so long after actual events, but there is a lot of 'grist' for the mill here. The accounts about Teddy Evans are interesting--more negative than I expected.I respect Wheeler's abilities as a researcher but I do keep in mind that no account can be entirely accurate now, looking back through the lens of time. And, on a wonderful trip to the Peninsula a few years ago, I heard an 'expert' sniff that Wheeler was not entirely up to snuff in terms of accuracy. This comment doesn't make me extremely doubtful about her findings, however, since she certainly convinces me when I take the 'whole' of her books.If you're interested in Antarctic exploration, Scott's last trip, or a piercing account of a gentleman of his time, get the book--you won't be disappointed.
Love reading about these Antarctic Expeditions. The men who lived to explore this continent were amazing. The competition was fierce.
Apsley Cherry-Garrard wrote "The Worst Journey in the World." This is the classic book of Antarctic exploration and a must read for anyone interested in that subject. Sara Wheeler brought to life the story of Apsley Cherry-Garrard from his boyhood as a spoiled well to do son of a retired British General who went to the best schools, studied the classics, and through a huge donation to the effort got himself assigned to Robert F. Scott's Antarctic expedition to be the first to reach the South Pole. From a young 24 year old with no real skills Garrard managed to become one of the most valuable members of Scott's expedition. A fascinating story.
Apsley Cherry-Garrard's "Worst Journey in the World" remains a polar classic, still in print 80 years after it first appeared. If you're like me, you can't help but wonder what happened to "Cherry" after it was published. Wheeler's biography not only tells you, it also tells you of his life before he went south with Captain Scott.Cherry was a complex man who struggled with his personal demons for most of his life. Wheeler presents his story with compassion and objectivity, and my only objection is that she is not nearly hard enough on Captain Scott. Scott and his companions did not die because of Cherry's failure to rescue them; they died because of Scott's bungling.If you're interested in the history of Antarctic exploration, "Cherry" is a must-read. However, be prepared for the fact that some of it is a bit less than cheerful.
Excellent read whether you are into arctic stories or not. Lots of details about the expeditions that were new to me. And many more about his later personal life.
