Adrift

A precursor to modern adventure narratives, including *The Perfect Storm* and *In the Heart of the Sea*, Steven Callahan’s *Adrift* is the harrowing firsthand account of the only man known to have survived more than a month alone at sea. A *New York Times* bestseller for over thirty-six weeks, this undeniable seafaring classic details Callahan’s fight for survival in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized just six days out. An “utterly absorbing” (Newsweek) tale, *Adrift* remains a powerful testament to human endurance.
