In 1898 a Belgian ship on a scientific expedition was frozen into the sea off the coast of Antarctica. During the long polar night, its 18 men would confront fear, death, illness, and despair. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe life aboard the Belgica during its long, dark southern winter. We'll also consider a devaluing signature and puzzle over some missing music. Intro: George S. Kaufman was uninterested in Eddie Fisher's dating problems.

Medverkande i detta avsnitt är Patrik, Martin och Daniel1)Vi har läst Roland Huntfords bok, Det blinda Sverige som gavs ut 1971 och kör valda ljudklipp tagna ur en inläsning av boken. Boken ger ett perspektiv på Sverige och den svenska mentaliteten sedd utifrån.2)Från bokens baksida: Sverige framstår lätt som en utopi för mer än ett sekel sedan, drog det sig tillbaka från de traumatiska konflikter som drabbade resten av Europa: det är ekonomiskt gynnat med ett av de mest vittomfattande systemen när det gäller social välfärd dess atmosfär ter sig kall, objektiv, effektivt och socialt medveten. Roland Huntfords överblick av landet ger oss en helt annan version. Neutraliteten, objektivitet och korporativ effektivitet är produkter inte beroende på upplysning, anser han, utan en påfunnen osäkerhet och likgiltighet i den svenska karaktären. Långt ifrån beundransvärd, framstår Sverige som det främsta exemplet i den moderna världen, när det gäller samhället, som George Orwell och Aldos Huxley foreställer sig det. Det svenska läget är skarpare totalitärt än det ryska. Huntford visar hur effektivt Sverige har gjort sig beroende av det socialdemokratiska partiet, som har uppehållit makten, utan betydande avbrott, sedan år 1932. Detta parti har framgångsrikt underminerat svenska riksdagen dess roll och ersatts av en våldig byråkratism som har bidragit till fast pakt mellan fackforeningspåvarna och staten. Han visar också hur svensk historia har gjort svenskarna motsträviga infor avgörande frågor eller att sticka av från den stora massan. Istället har svenskarna blivit det lydiga och fogliga numret i en stadsplanerares eller socialists dröm. Allt i svenskt liv är anpassat efter utvecklingen av ett effektivt regeringsmaskineri. Till gengäld har svenskarna fått framgång, hygien, social säkerhet och det ovanligt andefattiga nöjet av sexuell frihet. Roland Huntford är skandinavisk korrespondent för tidningen Observer i England och stationerad i Stockholm. Född i Sydafrika år 1927. Han avlade akademisk examen vid Cape Town-universiteten. Han lämnade Sydafrika år 1947 for att studera vid Imperial College och for att slå sig ned i England. Han reste på kontinenten och omväxlade detta med arbete i London. År 1959 tillträdde Roland Huntford en tjänst i FN i Genéve och samma år påbörjade han sin journalistiska bana genom sitt samarbete med Spectator, där han refererade från utrikesministrarnas konferens i Genéve. Därefter bidrog han med artiklar rörande internationella ämnen. Roland Huntford stannade kvar i FN till år 1961, då han begav sig till Finland som korrespondent for Observer, varefter han flyttade till Stockholm 1963. 3)Länk till talbok och PDF version av bokenhttps://archive.org/details/DetBlindaSverige4)Eddie Meduza, Sverige, vart är vi på väg

I first encountered her work in 1988, when my then-wife was captivated by The Greenlanders. We’d both just read Roland Huntford’s Scott and Amundson and were susceptible to things polar. My favorite remains A Thousand Acres, but I’m proud to live in a country where I needn’t choose between them. Enjoy this recut episode from the vault.

"We are ready to take the Pole in any kind of weather on offer," wrote the Norwegian Roald Amundsen in December 1911. Born in 1872, Amundsen is part of a group of men - including the playwright Henrik Ibsen and the explorer Fridjtof Nansen - who gave shape to Norwegian identity just as the country broke free from Sweden and achieved independence. He is also remembered as the man who beat the British explorer Scott to the South Pole. The different cultures of their two countries come under scrutiny in this episode. The nominator is Erica Wagner, former literary editor of The Times and a writer who knows Norway well. There are two experts - Pieter van de Merwe from the National Maritime Museum; and Roland Huntford, whose book on Scott and Amundsen caused an angry fuss when first published in 1979. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.

Been crazy busy will come out within week new epsiode july 24 World cup has got in the way but you should know USA played really well,  game of the tournament New episode June 24th         Robert Falcon Scott, CVO (6 June 1868 – c. 29 March 1912) was a Royal Navyofficer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: theDiscovery Expedition, 1901–04, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, 1910–13.                                                            Scott, writing his journal in the Cape Evans hut, winter 19112014-06-08   During the research for his dual biography of Scott and Roald Amundsen,[9] polar historian Roland Huntford investigated a possible scandal in Scott's early naval career, related to the period 1889–90 when Scott was a lieutenant on HMS Amphion. According to Huntford, Scott "disappears from naval records" for eight months, from mid-August 1889 until 26 March 1890. Huntford hints at involvement with a married American woman, of cover-up, and protection by senior officers. Biographer David Crane reduces the missing period to eleven weeks,   Popular hero[edit] Discovery returned to Britain in September 1904. The expedition had caught the public imagination, and Scott became a popular hero. He was awarded a cluster of honours and medals, including many from overseas, and was promoted to the rank of captain.[35] He was invited to Balmoral Castle, where King Edward VII promoted him a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO).[36]   The expedition had both scientific and exploration objectives; the latter included a long journey south, in the direction of the South Pole. This march, undertaken by Scott,Ernest Shackleton and Edward Wilson, took them to a latitude of 82° 17′ S, about 530 miles (850 km) from the pole. A harrowing return journey brought about Shackleton's physical collapse and his early departure from the expedition   Dispute with Shackleton[edit] By early 1906, Scott had sounded out the RGS about the possible funding of a future Antarctic expedition.[39] It was therefore unwelcome news to him that Ernest Shackleton had announced his own plans to travel to Discovery's old McMurdo Sound base and launch a bid for the South Pole from there.[40] Scott claimed, in the first of a series of letters to Shackleton, that the area around McMurdo was his own "field of work" to which he had prior rights until he chose to give them up, and that Shackleton should therefore work from an entirely different area.       Scott's group took this photograph of themselves using a string to operate the shutter on 17 January 1912, the day after they discovered Amundsen had reached the pole first.       Charles Darwin Charles Robert Darwin, FRS (/ˈdɑrwɪn/;[1] 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist,[2] best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory.[I] He established that all species   ct. 1805 - Dec. 1831:Events leading to the Voyage The Napoleonic Wars South American trade relations The Hydrographic OfficeEarly H.M.S.

Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen (Norwegian: [ˈɾuːɑl ˈɑmʉnsən]; 16 July 1872 – c. 18 June 1928) was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions. He led theAntarctic expedition (1910–12) to become the first men to reach the South Pole in December 1911. In 1926,        Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–99) Main article: Belgian Antarctic Expedition Portraits of Roald Amundsen Amundsen joined the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–99) as first mate. This expedition, led by Adrien de Gerlache using the ship the Belgica, became the first expedition to winter in Antarctica.[         David Livingstone  late 19th century in Victorian Britain, Livingstone had a mythic status, which operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of commercial empire. His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the River Nile   Although Livingstone is known as "Africa's greatest missionary,” he is only recorded as having converted one African: Sechele, who was the chief of the Kwena people of Botswana. Kwena Livingstone's heart was buried under a Mvula tree near the spot where he died, now the site of the Livingstone Memorial.[29]His body together with his journal was carried over a thousand miles by his loyal attendants Chuma and Susi to the coast toBagamoyo, and was returned to Britain for burial. After lying in repose at No.1 Savile Row — then headquarters of the Royal Geographical Society, now the home of bespoke tailors Gieves & Hawkes — his remains were interred at Westminster Abbey, London.[4][30]   Famous people buried at Westminster Abbey Oliver CromwellSoldier and politician died 1658 Sir Isaac NewtonScientist died 1727 Charles DickensNovelist died 1870 Charles DarwinNaturalist died 1882 Sir Isaac NewtonScientist died 1727 Sir Laurence OlivierActor died 1989     Henry Morton Stanley   Sir Henry Morton Stanley GCB, born John Rowlands (28 January 1841 – 10 May 1904), was a Welsh journalist and explorer famous for his exploration of central Africa and his search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone   Henry Morton Stanley's life was a fascinating mix of heroic adventure, journalism and fantasy. He became famous by finding David Livingstone and writing about it in the New York Herald -- even though Livingstone was not lost. Stanley was born in North Wales, an illegitimate child, and baptised as John Rowlands. Aged 17, he ran away to sea and in New Orleans gave himself a new name. During following years, he led a roving life in America, working mostly as a freelance journalist. He fought on both sides in the Civil War.   Henry Stanley with Kalulu, his African personal servant and adopted child. Stanley named the Kalulu Falls after him after the boy died there, aged about 12, when his canoe was washed over the waterfall.    

Jane Smiley's first novel, "Barn Blind," published in 1980, was followed by a dozen more, in addition to a story collection, and several works of non-fiction – including "Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel" and "A Year at the Races." In 1991, her novel "A Thousand Acres received the Pulitzer Prize." Randy first encountered her in 1988, when his then-wife was captivated by "The Greenlanders." They'd both just read Roland Huntford’s "Scott and Amundson," and were susceptible to things Arctic and Antarctic. His own favorite is "A Thousand Acres," but he says, "I'm proud to live in a country where I needn’t choose between them." You can hear more episodes of PPT at PersonPlaceThing.org.
