In 1947, Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl embarked on a daring expedition that would forever change our understanding of ancient Polynesian seafaring. With a crew of five, he set sail from Peru on a balsa wood raft named the Kon-Tiki, hoping to prove that pre-Columbian South Americans could have crossed the Pacific Ocean and settled the Polynesian islands.

Heyerdahl's journey was fraught with challenges. The raft was constantly battered by storms and high seas, and the crew faced hunger, thirst, and disease. But they persevered, and after 101 days at sea, they finally reached the Polynesian island of Raroia.

Heyerdahl's expedition did more than just prove that pre-Columbian South Americans could have crossed the Pacific. It also helped to bridge the gap between the Western world and the Polynesian islands. Heyerdahl and his crew spent several months living among the Polynesian people, learning about their culture and way of life. They returned to the West with a newfound appreciation for the Polynesian people and their rich heritage.

Kon-Tiki Enriched Classics is a captivating account of Heyerdahl's epic adventure. The book includes Heyerdahl's original text, along with stunning photographs, maps, and sidebars that provide additional information about the Polynesian islands and their people.

Whether you're a history buff, an adventure enthusiast, or simply someone who loves a good story, Kon-Tiki Enriched Classics is a must-read. It's a book that will transport you to a different time and place, and open your eyes to the wonders of the world.
