Finn, your Starvard guide

Bonjour, je m'appelle Finn et je vais t'aider à comprendre ce livre.

Le voici, expliqué comme si tu avais 10 ans :

Douglas Mawson et ses hommes ont passé l'hiver dans l'endroit le plus venteux de la terre, la terre Adélie en Antarctique, puis ils sont partis en traîneau sur la glace. Voici leur récit complet de l'expédition antarctique australasienne de 1911 à 1914 : la hutte, les blizzards, les voyages, la science, et le prix payé. Mawson écrit simplement et laisse les faits faire leur effet. Si vous aimez l'aventure vraie, installez-vous. Ce livre la mérite.
