Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Slow and deliberate from boyhood, John Franklin seemed destined to be a misfit. But he escaped from the ever-expanding world of Industry and Empire to the sea's silent landscape, where the universe seemed more manageable. At fourteen he joined the Navy and, after the harrowing battles of Copenhagen and Trafalgar, went in search of the Northwest Passage. As he journeyed from Canada to the Arctic he replayed in a kind of slow-motion mental frieze the bloody frenzy of the battles he had so deplored. Everyone with whom he came into contact sensed that they were dealing with a rare man, one who was out of his time and who moved to a different, grander beat. That beat later led Franklin into the Arctic in search of a frozen dream, it was a voyage on which time stopped.In this award-winning underground classic, Sten Nadolny conveys the pale, brilliant glare of the white seascape and the pull of Franklin's ever more ghostly goal. His powerful novel is a timely modern tale about the lure and lessons of slowness, about the importance of insisting, gently and stubbornly, on one's own themes, the motifs of one's own life.
