Seul, à travers l'Atlantique by Alain Gerbault
"Seul, à travers l'Atlantique" by Alain Gerbault is an adventurous memoir written in the early 20th century.

The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Gerbault's extraordinary voyage as he finds himself safelyin New York after enduring a treacherous crossing filled with tempests and struggles for survival. He reflects on his experiences during the recent storms that tested his resolve and the skills he developed as a sailor, recalling vivid entries from his logbook that detail the harrowing conditions he faced and his determination to keep his boat afloat. As he reminisces about his childhood dream of sailing and the series of events that led him to pursue this fantastical journey, readers are drawn into his profound passion for the maritime life and his unwavering spirit of exploration.
