11. "West with the Night" By Beryl Markham
柏瑞尔 ·马卡姆著《夜航西飞》
"I can't get over the amount of daring, courage, self-confidence and determination it took to accomplish what Beryl Markham did in 1936, when she became the first person to fly solo, east to west across the Atlantic Ocean. This is a beautifully written life story of one of the greatest woman adventurers of all time, from her growing up in sub-Saharan Africa to her exploits as a pilot."- Hillary Clinton for The Oprah Magazine
“我深深地沉迷于柏瑞尔·马卡姆身上表现出的大胆、勇气、自信与决心,1936年,她凭借这些成为独自自东向西飞跃大西洋的第一人。这是一本文笔优美的书,主人公是有史以来最伟大的女探险家之一,从她在黑非洲的成长经历一直写到她成为飞行员后取得的成绩。”——摘自《奥普拉杂志》中希拉里·克林顿的话
First written in 1942, the 2010 reprint has captured the timeless appeal of man versus nature…only in this case, the plane-flying daredevil is female. Though Markham eventually spent her years as a horse trainer in Kenya, in her younger years, she became famous as the first female to fly nonstop across the Atlantic. Her courage would do credit to Ernest Hemingway's determination to face internal fears; she met him on safari.
