«In the Footsteps of Adam» is the autobiography of Thor Heyerdahl, published by Abacus in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Thor Heyerdahl, famous for crossing the Pacific on the Kon-Tiki raft in 1947, here reviews his life in a narrative that does not follow a chronological order: the Atlantic crossing in papyrus boats, trips to the Galápagos, the Maldives and Easter Island, and episodes such as secret missions during the war, interwoven with his reflections on religion, politics and ecology.
Work originally published in Norwegian as «I Adams fotspor: En erindringsreise» (1998); the present English edition appeared in 2001.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of exploration, travel and biographies of twentieth-century adventurers.
Thor Heyerdahl KStJ was a Norwegian adventurer and ethnographer with a background in biology with specialization in zoology, botany and geography.
