      17 stycznia 1913 r. sytuacja Douglasa Mawsona, kierownika Australazjatyckiej Ekspedycji Antarktycznej, była nie do pozazdroszczenia – z całego zespołu został tylko on, groziła mu śmierć głodowa, a na dodatek wszystkie psy padły, musiał więc samodzielnie ciągnąć sanie w drodze powrotnej do głównej bazy. Kiedy zarwał się pod nim most śnieżny i Mawson zawisł nad przepaścią na uprzęży sań, życie uratował mu zapamiętany fragment wiersza, dzięki któremu wykrzesał z siebie siły, by wspiąć się z powrotem na powierzchnię. Momentami poruszał się na czworakach, a pewnego wieczoru z przerażeniem stwierdził, że spód stopy całkowicie się od niej oderwał. Kiedy 8 lutego dowlókł się do bazy, przypominał żywy szkielet. Pierwszy z towarzyszy, który go ujrzał, zawołał ze zgrozą: „Wiem, że jesteś jednym z nich. Ale którym?!”. Fascynująca i niewiarygodna historia przywraca Mawsonowi należne mu miejsce pośród największych polarników i kierowników ekspedycji antarktycznych. Książka zawiera słynne zdjęcia Antarktydy wykonane przez Franka Hurleya - wiele z nich nigdy nie było dotychczas publikowanych.

      This book explores the demise of the grand narrative of European modernity. That once commanding narrative located the meaning of the past in the present and the meaning of the present in an ever-receding future. Today, instead, the present defines both the past and the future. The 'contemporary' has replaced 'modern' and 'post-modern' self-understandings. The times of the past and the future have been transformed into versions of 'now' while the present has acquired its own history. History of the Present describes the emergence of this 'contemporary' historical consciousness across a wide spectrum of cultural phenomena ranging from historiography to heritage and museum studies, and from the globalization of the novel to the rise of science fiction. The culture of the 'contemporary' appears particularly clearly in the merging of high and low culture along with art and fashion. This book will appeal to scholars of sociology, cultural and social theory, museum and heritage studies, and literary history and criticism.
