He dared to ask questions that no one else did. He wanted his expeditions to bring people and cultures closer together. The Man and the Sea became a bestseller. The biography followed Thor Heyerdah through the Kon Tiki expedition in 1947. Thor Heyerdahl conquered the world.; as a writer, as an outstanding communicator, as an early environmentalist and as leader of a number of famous expeditions. The man and the world takes the reader to the Galapagos, Easter Island, Tucume in Peru and the Maldives. Like so many celebrities before him, Heyerdahl paid a high personal price for his success.
