In 1880 Arthur Conan Doyle, then a young medical student, embarked upon the “first real outstanding adventure” of his life, taking a berth as ship’s surgeon on an Arctic whaler. The voyage took him to unknown regions, showered him with dramatic experiences, and plunged him into dangerous work on the ice floes of the Arctic. It was, as he wrote later, “a strange and fascinating chapter of my life.”
The journal he kept aboard the whaler was unpublished for more than a century. Our free e-book for December, Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure, is the transcript of his diary, plus two nonfiction pieces by Doyle about his experiences and two of his tales inspired by the journey. (This free e-book has the complete text found in the print edition, but without the illustrations or the facsimile reproductions of Doyle's notebook pages.)
Get the e-book text edition of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure free in December!
