THE ICE BALLOON by Alec Wilkinson

THE ICE BALLOON
by Alec Wilkinson

In August of 1930, a Norwegian sloop, the Bratvaag, sailing in the Arctic Ocean, stopped at a remote island called White Island. The Bratvaag was partly on a scientific mission, led by a geologist named Dr. Gunnar Horn, and partly out sealing. On the second day, the sealers followed some walruses around a point of land. A few hours later, they returned with a book, which was sodden and heavy, and had its pages stuck together. The book was a diary, and on the first page someone had written in pencil, “The Sledge Journey, 1897″…

Robert A. Caro’s Next Book on Lyndon Johnson, The Passage of Power, to be Published by Knopf in May

Robert A. Caro’s Next Book on Lyndon Johnson, The Passage of Power, to be Published by Knopf in May

The eagerly anticipated fourth volume in Robert A. Caro’s award-winning and best-selling “The Years of Lyndon Johnson” biography will be published next May, it was announced today by Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of Knopf.

“This is the work of a great biographer writing at the very height of his powers,” Mehta said. “When I read the manuscript, I knew we had to publish this new book as quickly as possible. It is a riveting look at a pivotal period in our nation’s history – told for the first time as only Caro is capable of doing. His research is peerless; his knowledge of history exceptional; and his gifts for telling a story unrivaled. This book will be hailed as one of his finest works.”

The Passage of Power continues the story told in Master of the Senate (2002), Means of Ascent (1990), and The Path to Power (1982) – books that have been honored with a National Book Award, a Pulitzer Prize, and two awards from the National Book Critics Circle. Collectively, they have sold one and a half million copies, and the last two were #1 New York Times best sellers.
