The most successful book by sailing legend Rudy Krautschneider Around the World for a Penguin Feather in audiobook form
One of the greatest Czech seafarers, Ruda Krautschneider, describes in his captivating book his circumnavigation of the world in the Antarctic zone, landings on desert islands, as well as the colourfulness of Australia, Africa, South America and polar stations. This three and a half year long voyage was completed by three Czechs on the yacht Polárka.
"It's the madness that brings us back to normal." This is one of the original thoughts that the author jotted down during a several-day storm in the Indian Ocean. His narrative oozes the experience and wisdom of an old bard who has scoured the seas of the world. It is not important for him where he sails and what he achieves, he is going for a deeper experience, capturing the moments that every person longs for. He writes about the sea, which has become his true home, the sea that purifies man and removes his pride.
