Shipwrecked and Marooned

Our Shipwrecked and Marooned CD includes 46 books. In assembling this collection I interpreted "shipwrecked" and "marooned" very broadly, including Xenophon's Anabasis, in which an Athenian army is "marooned" in Persia, and couple of books that are more mutiny than shipwreck.

Intended for use with PCs (Windows or Linux) and recent Macs (OS X), our books are in plain-text format, not audio or video. You read them on your computer screen.

You can see the complete table of contents below. Please use the Find function in your browser (under Edit) to look for a specific author or book.

You can see suggestions on how to get the most out of your plain-text books on CD ROM at our home Web site. Use the back button on your browser to return here.
