Publisher's Summary

Jens Munk er en skildring af den danske søkaptajn Jens Munk, der levede 1570-1628. Det er beretningen om hans eventyrlige og omskiftelige liv, som bl.a. førte ham til Sydamerika og Nordkap, og om hans kampe i Christian IV's tjeneste mod kapere og svenskere.

Bogen kulminerer med skildringen af Jens Munks forsøg på at finde en gennemsejling til Kina nord om Amerika i 1619-20. Under denne ekspedition måtte han overvintre i bunden af Hudson Bay, hvor situationen udviklede sig til en katastrofe. Af de 65 søfolk overlevede, foruden Jens Munk, kun to mænd.

Critic Reviews

Et mesterværk af historisk fortælling og digterisk erkendelse.
-- Jens Kruuse, Jyllands-Posten

Biografien over Jens Munk er ikke alene en drabelig sørøverroman, det er også en begavet forfatters psykologiske studie og ikke mindst et stykke historieskrivning af karat.
-- Kristian Hvidt, Berlingske Tidende
