Nine Against the Unknown by Lewis Grassic Gibbon
First published in 1934, this is the story of nine of the great western explorers, including Leif Ericsson, Marco Polo, Mungo Park and Richard Burton. Grassic Gibbon weaves together the history known of each explorer, speculating greatly and smoothing over any gaps with likely fiction.
Lewis Grassic Gibbon (James Leslie Mitchell) was one of the finest writers of the twentieth century. Born in Aberdeenshire in 1901, he died at the age of thirty-four. He was a prolific writer of novels, short stories, essays and science fiction, and his writing reflected his wide interest in religion, archaeology, history, politics and science. The Mearns trilogy, A Scots Quair, is his most renowned work, and has become a landmark in Scottish literature.
