THE KON-TIKI EXPEDITION The book has been translated into over 70 languages! More than 50 million copies sold! Have you ever crossed an ocean? How about on a raft made of balsa logs, which Polynesians used for sea voyages thousands of years ago? Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl (1914–2002) invites us on such an expedition. And if you are not afraid to push off from the shore of South America and embark on an adventure, then you have the right book in your hands. We wish you fair winds and incredible discoveries! 

AKU-AKU. THE MYSTERY OF EASTER ISLAND An international bestseller! The stone statues on Easter Island have fascinated everyone who has seen them for centuries. But how did these stone giants end up on an almost uninhabited island? Why do they stand, turned away from the omnipotent ocean, gazing into the depths of the island's volcanoes? Fearless Norwegian researcher Thor Heyerdahl (1914–2002) takes on the task of unraveling these mysteries. He outfits an expedition to the island where the descendants of the long-eared live. Of course, at first, he doesn't even have an aku-aku, like any sensible long-eared person. But the upcoming journey will fill this gap. Thor Heyerdahl will learn many legends and beliefs, encounter mysterious forces, and find answers to all his questions. When the travelers ask the burgomaster why he didn't share all this with other Europeans who came to the island earlier, he replies, "Nobody asked me about it before." 

RA 
Classic of travel literature! 
Did ancient Egyptians, Mexicans, Easter Islanders, and Vikings ever meet each other? How and when? Is the ocean truly a barrier? Is it really possible to cross hundreds of nautical miles on a flimsy boat made of papyrus?
Yes, if the daring Norwegian traveler Thor Heyerdahl (1914–2002) is at the helm of this unsinkable "liner" named "Ra." Overcoming storms and encounters with sea monsters, he will prove to himself and the whole world that in the times of the construction of the Egyptian pyramids, the people of the Earth adored sea voyages and that Christopher Columbus was by no means the first European to step onto the American continent. Thanks to the skill of Russian translator L. Zhdanov (1924–1951), the reader will be so captivated by the sparkling story of the eyewitness to the events that they will doubt the fictitiousness of the tale. However, what is written is worth believing, as all the words in it are true!
Happy sailing!
