Summary "Sailing Alone Around the World" by Joshua Slocum is a remarkable travelogue written during the late 19th century. The book narrates the solo voyage of Slocum as he sails around the globe on his sloop, the "Spray." Through his eyes, readers experience the challenges, adventures, and the allure of the open sea, as well as the reflections and emotions that accompany solitary sailing. At the start of the narrative, Slocum introduces himself, sharing his maritime heritage and extensive background as a sailor and shipmaster. He recounts the circumstances leading to his acquisition and rebuilding of the sloop "Spray." As the opening progresses, we learn about his preparations for embarking on a daring solo voyage around the world, filled with excitement, trepidation, and reflections on the sea. The tone is both adventurous and introspective, setting the stage for an extraordinary journey and hinting at the stories and experiences that will unfold as he navigates the vast ocean alone.
