Descriere magazin:
The inspiration for the Broadway musical Swept Away : An exciting, historically accurate depiction of a disastrous 19th-century sea journey. -- Publishers Weekly In the late 1800s, the Essex coast of England was known for producing the toughest, most skilled seamen. Tom Dudley was one of them. Though a well-known and respected figure among the local yacht-racing community, he had little experience of deep-sea sailing. Still, Tom agreed to sail more than ten thousand miles to deliver a yacht to its new owner in Sydney, Australia. Almost immediately, the twenty-year-old Mignonette starts taking on water--a harbinger for events to come. Tom stops for repairs at Southampton, where his crew abandons him. After recruiting three new men--including a teenage boy who lies about his age--Tom sets off, filled with optimism and dreams of new opportunities in a new land. But then a savage storm sinks the Mignonette , leaving Tom and his crew in a thirteen-foot-long dinghy a thousand miles from land. In a shark-filled sea, with no water and little food, the men face a horrific fate--and must sacrifice their very humanity to survive . . . Four men set out on the Mignonette , but only three will make it back alive. The nightmarish events of the shipwreck are reported with real power. -- The New York Times Book Review Makes astonishing reading . . . extraordinary. -- The Times Literary Supplement A gripping tale of four sailors adrift at sea . . . Gruesome and completely fascinating. -- Kirkus Reviews A terrific story . . . a riveting read. -- The Spectator
