John Franklin lived in his own world, where all things seemed to have lost their ability to move quickly. His mind stubbornly refused to hurry and ignored the ridicule, mockery and abuse of others. Slowly but surely, he was moving towards his goal, turning his birth defect into the strongest feature of his character. And eventually, a clumsy boy from a provincial town became a Rear Admiral in the British Navy, an outstanding navigator and a world-famous Arctic explorer.

«Conquest of Slowness» — is not just a biography of a prominent personality, it is a story about a special person who not only accepted that he was different, but also made others live in his own rhythm and according to his own time.
