Tori Murden McClure Livres

Tori Murden McClure est célébrée pour sa remarquable traversée de l'océan Atlantique en solitaire et sans assistance, un exploit qui a fait d'elle la première femme et la première Américaine à y parvenir. Ses voyages lui ont révélé que le véritable épanouissement ne réside pas dans des démonstrations surhumaines de force, mais dans l'acceptation de notre humanité commune. Elle a également fait preuve d'une résilience exceptionnelle lors de son voyage terrestre vers le pôle Sud géographique et de ses expéditions d'alpinisme significatives sur différents continents. À travers ses expériences, elle offre des aperçus profonds sur la recherche de son propre cœur et la compréhension de ce que signifie vraiment être humain.

"In the end, I know I rowed across the Atlantic to find my heart, but in the beginning, I wasn't aware that it was missing." In June 1998, Tori McClure began rowing across the Atlantic Ocean solo in a twenty-three-foot plywood boat with no motor or sail. Within days she lost all communication with shore but decided to forge ahead -- not knowing that 1998 would turn out to be the worst hurricane season on record in the North Atlantic. When she was nearly killed by a series of violent storms, Tori was forced to signal for help and head home in what felt like disgrace. But then her life changed in unexpected ways. She was hired by Muhammad Ali, who told her she did not want to be known as the woman who "almost" rowed across the Atlantic. And at thirty-five, Tori fell in love. A Pearl in the Storm is Tori's thrilling true story of high adventure -- and of her personal quest to discover that embracing her own humanity was more important than superhuman feats.
