Alone in the ocean
He swam 100 km in the ocean among sharks. Three days, without water, food and sleep. In the middle of the storm and the burning sun. He was running from the USSR, but rather he was running towards his dream, which he fulfilled. He is one of us who has crossed the line beyond which there is no suffering.
by Slava Kurilov
Description
An oceanographer by profession, romantic by nature, the citizen of the Universe by vocation. USSR has denied Slava Kurilov the right to travel abroad, but passionate scientist refused to accept that state of affairs.
December 1974 he escapes from the tourist cruise-ship “USSR” not far from the Philippines. Without water or food, with no other swimming equipment than the mask, snorkel, and flippers, he swam nearly 100 km separating him from the Philippines, having spent in the open ocean almost three days.
This book, written by Slava Kurilov himself and published soon after his death, tells about his road to freedom.
