Description

"Nine Against the Unknown" is a vintage book that looks at some of history's most important and celebrated explorers including Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus, describing in detail their various voyages and journeys and how they changed the world.

Lewis Grassic Gibbon was the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell (1901 - 1935), a Scottish writer.

Other notable works by this author include: "The Thirteenth Disciple" (1931), "The Calends of Cairo" (1931), and "Three Go Back" (1932).

Contents include: "The Glamour of Gold and the Givers of Life", "Leif Ericsson's Landfall in Wineland the Good", "Ser Marco Polo Journeys to the Islands Beyond Cathay", "Don Cristobal Colon and the Earthly Paradise", "Cabeza De Vaca's Quest for the City of God", etc.

Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
