"Borders I have never seen one. But I have heard they exist in the minds of some people": First Edition Of The Kon-Tiki; Signed By Thor Heyerdahl
First English Edition of the explorer's classic first book. Signed by Heyerdahl on the front endpage. Fine in a very good jacket that shows some wear. Exceptionally uncommon signed and even in its original dustjacket.
On April 28, 1947, Heyerdahl and five other adventurers sailed from Peru on a raft built from balsa wood, bamboo, and hemp. After three months and 4,300 nautical miles on the open sea they sighted land—the Polynesian island of Puka Puka.The Kon-Tiki has been translated into sixty-five languages and has sold millions of copies. It is the basis for the 2012 Norwegian film directed by Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, and was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe.
