Men on the Horizon
About this book
Fresh out of school a very young Guy Murchie decides to travel around the world and by sheer luck and determination and quick thinking he survives the experience and then promptly writes about his adventures in this very witty and well written book. It is a testament to his courage and wiles and intelligence and sheer fortitude and wily wit - all qualities which he honed on this perilous journey and which served him well the rest of his life. ... ... Guy Murchie graduated from Harvard in the 30s and just kept on expanding. This is his first book, the story of working his way around the world in freight ships before WW2. It gives hints of his later amazing insights into science and humanity in Song of the Sky, The Seven Mysteries of Life, and Music of the Spheres.
