Go to Atlantic Ocean

The Shipwrecked Men
by Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca

From the Great Journeys series.

The original disaster narrative tells how a confident, well-equipped Spanish expedition to explore the Florida mainland came utterly to grief through arrogance, storms, and bad luck, leaving a handful of survivors to stagger to Mexico City some years later.

Penguin's new Great Journeys series presents the most incredible tours, voyages, treks, expeditions, and travels ever written--from Isabella Bird's exaltation in the dangers of grizzlies, rattlesnakes, and cowboys in the Rocky Mountains to Marco Polo's mystified reports of a giant bird that eats elephants during his voyage along the coasts of India. Each beautifully packaged volume offers a way to see the world anew, to rediscover great civilizations and legends, vast deserts and unspoiled mountain ranges, unusual flora and strange new creatures, and much more.
