"A chronicle that reads like a collection of your crazy buddy's bar stories about his crazier old man." -Outside Magazine

The action of the hit Discovery Channel series DEADLIEST CATCH combines with the personal saga of a Norwegian family in this memoir adventure tale of commercial fishermen on the Bering Sea

In the tradition of Sebastian Junger and Linda Greenlaw comes Captain Sig Hansen's rags-to-riches epic of his immigrant family's struggle against deadly Alaskan seas, freezing shipwrecks, and dangerously brutal conditions to achieve the American Dream. For Captain Sig Hansen and his brothers, Norman and Edgar, commercial fishing is as much a part of their Norwegian heritage as their names. Descendants of the Vikings who ruled the northern seas for centuries, Sig and his brothers learned to fish from their father when they were boys, just as their father had learned from his father. And after twenty years as a skipper on the commercial fishing vessel the Northwestern Sig has lived to tell the tales.

This is the story of a family of survivors; part memoir and part adventure tale, North by Northwestern brings readers on deck, into the dockside bars and into the history of a family with a common destiny. Built around the gripping tale of a deadly shipwreck like The Perfect Storm, North By Northwestern tells the multigenerational history of the Hansen family, a clan of tough Norwegian-American fishermen who have become modern day folk-heroes.

Great book and opportunity to learn two languages!
Format: Hardcover
My five year olds have recently developed an interest in the Spanish language. We already have the English version so I now read both to my girls (and also translate the Spanish book when reading). They really enjoy it and I am getting to brush up on the Spanish I haven't used since high school. The pages are illustrated nicely and although the translation is slightly different, it tells the basic story and you can follow along in the English book. I recommend this item.

On to the next generations
Format: Hardcover
The baby grams are in Spanish immersion in their school. This is a wonderful way for them to get my childhood classics (which I read to them regularly) in Spanish. I bought several different books and they have enjoyed them. And so have I!!
