So I post my recommendation here too:&lt;p&gt;It is a brilliant novel about Franklin and his expedition: The Discovery of Slowness (Sten Nadolny) It has originally been written in german (Die Entdeckung der Langsamkeit). Very well investigated. Especially John Franklin seemed to have been a very interesting character.&lt;p&gt;Read the amazon reviews: people start to get philosophical, when they write about this book.&lt;p&gt;A great weekend read, well worth the time. Maybe I should grab it again, too...&lt;p&gt;(deleted my post in the main thread)</text></comment>

Great book. It&amp;#x27;s a fictional story that kind is accurate in that it keeps with the known time line of events and fills in all the blanks with a supernatural twist to the whole thing. Quite a scary book, too, as I remember.</text></comment>
