Zoom with the Friends! A conversation with Julian Sancton, Larchmont resident and author of Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night

Please join us for a Zoom conversation with Larchmont resident and author Julian Sancton, author of Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night.

"Exquisitely researched and deeply engrossing” (The New York Times), Madhouse is a true survival story of an early polar expedition that went terribly awry—with the ship frozen in ice and the crew trapped inside for the entire sunless, Antarctic winter.

"Madhouse is that rare non-fiction gem—an obscure but important history transformed by deep research and note-perfect storytelling into a classic thriller."—Walter Isaacson, author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs
