Adventure books are one of the most frequently read books and one of the best-selling genres, so they are always a good gift for any reader. With that in mind, here are some recommendations for you to give as a gift to a friend or family member.
Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini
Based closely on real historical events, this story of a doctor sentenced to slavery in the 17th century Caribbean only to escape and become one of the most successful pirates of the time is a classic celebration of man's ability. To make his own destiny, no matter what the obstacles.
Lost Horizons by James Hilton
The origin of the term "Shangri-La", this story of a monastery hidden in the mountains of Tibet where the ageing process slows down and a lifetime of study and contemplation offers hope to a war-torn world. A gripping story almost a century later.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Sea monsters and the first steampunk submarine: it doesn't get more adventurous than that. Verne's classic work of adventure and science fiction is not exactly scientifically rigorous, but its spirit of discovery, as Nemo and his companions travel to various incredible locations, including the lost city of Atlantis, is unparalleled.
