A propos de cet article

Hardcover. What joy to be at sea again, adrift on the vast Pacific, in the clutches of a gifted storyteller. Harrison Christian and the mutineers of Men Without Country held me happily captive to the very last page. Dava Sobel, author of LongitudeMen Without Country shows what a writer can produce when he has real skin in the game. Harrison Christian sets the record straight on the Bounty mutiny with forensic fervour, including the before, the during and the after. Adam Courtenay, author of The Ship that Never WasFull of misadventure and mystery, Men Without Country is a sweeping history of exploration and rebellion in the South Seas told by a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian, the man who led the infamous mutiny on the BountyA mission to collect breadfruit from Tahiti becomes the most famous mutiny in history when the crew rise up against Captain William Bligh, with accusations of food restrictions and unfair punishments.Blighs remarkable journey back to safety is well documented, but the fates of the mutinous men remain shrouded in mystery. Some settled in Tahiti only to face capture and court martial, others sailed on to form a secret colony on Pitcairn Island, the most remote inhabited island on earth, avoiding detection for twenty years. When an American captain stumbled across the island in 1808, only one of the Bounty mutineers was left alive.Told by a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian, Men Without Country details the journey of the Bounty, and the lives of the men aboard. Lives dominated by a punishing regime of hard work and scarce rations, and deeply divided by the hierarchy of class. It is a tale of adventure and exploration punctuated by moments of extreme violence towards each other and the people of the South Pacific.For the first time, Christian provides a comprehensive and compelling account of the whole story from the history of trade and exploration in the South Seas to Pitcairn Island, which provided the mutineers salvation, and then became their grave. Full of misadventure and mystery, Men Without Country is a sweeping history of exploration and rebellion in the South Seas told by a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian, the man who led the infamous mutiny on the Bounty Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
