When looking for your next read why not give tales of the high seas a try? With so many stellar work of fiction to choose from it may be difficult to choose a starting point, so here are three high seas adventure novels that are well worth the read.
Life of Pi by Yann Martel. The unlikely tale of a young Indian boy named Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel who survives a shipwreck only to find himself stranded on the Pacific Ocean. Pi isn’t alone, however, as he find himself sharing the lifeboat that his survival depends on with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Their 227 day journey to safety is an exploration of growth through adversity, as Yann Martel shows us that life is a story.
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Easily one of the greatest influences on modern pirate lore, Treasure Island is so much more than just the adventure of young Jim Hawkins, buccaneers, and buried gold.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea redefined the adventure novel and remains one of the most influential works of fiction to this very day. The story of exploration and sea monsters gave us themes and plot devices regularly borrowed by other works of fiction, not to mention Captain Nemo, who has found himself alive and well in modern lore.
