Here was no simple narrative of a sea voyage, and here was the antithesis of a self-serving Hollywood memoir. Sterling Hayden was at the peak of his earning power as a star when he suddenly quit. He walked out on Hollywood, walked out of a shattered marriage, defied the courts, and, broke and an outlaw, set sail with his four children in the schooner Wanderer --bound for the South Seas. Long before he was an actor, Hayden was a seaman. He had sailed before the mast and as mate and captain in sailing ships. He had been a Grand Banks fisherman. Then Hollywood offered him a screen test. Pushed to stardom, he became the leading man to one of the screen's most beautiful women, and the money began to flow. With money and fame, however, came a gnawing dissatisfaction with his life. His attempt to escape launches this autobiography. It is the candid, sometimes painfully revealing confession of a man who scrutinizes his every self-defeat and self-betrayal in the unblinking light of conscience. It is also the triumph of a complex and contradictory man, still a rebel and a seeker, undefeated by his failure to find himself in love, adventure, drink, or escape to the South Seas. It is, as Eugene Burdick said of it, \"utterly fascinating, written by a man who has been able to achieve an honesty about himself which is almost unique.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67844688937248,"sku":"USED0393075214","price":131.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91sgMggFQsL.jpg?v=1792291812","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/wanderer-0393075214-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
