Acerca de este producto
Product Information
In 1787 the Royal Navy ship HMS Bounty , captained by William Bligh, set sail for Tahiti in search of breadfruit plants. Soon after leaving Tahiti, Master's Mate Fletcher Christian led a successful revolt, setting Bligh and eighteen of his men adrift. In his journal, Boatswain's Mate James Morrison recounts the Bounty 's voyage, placing considerable blame for the mutiny on Bligh's irascible personality and style of command. This event, however, only introduces Morrison's remarkable journey through the South Seas. A born storyteller, Morrison pens compelling tales of the time after the mutiny, beginning with ringleader Fletcher Christian's two ill-fated attempts to establish a refuge on the island of Tubuai. Morrison then recounts his eighteen-month sojourn on Tahiti, where he constructed a seaworthy schooner and closely observed the island and its way of life. He tells of the subsequent arrival of HMS Pandora , which was charged with bringing the mutineers back to England for trial, and his imprisonment in the horrific "Pandora's Box." Morrison once again faces peril when the Pandora sinks on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, where thirty-one of the crew and four prisoners perished. Although Morrison did not actively participate in the Bounty insurrection, he had remained with Fletcher Christian's party, which was enough evidence for his eventual condemnation. While imprisoned, Morrison began composing his journal. King George III granted a pardon, and soon after his release, Morrison wrote the second half of the journal, which he filled with detailed descriptions of Tahitian life, culture, and natural history. Morrison's journal is an invaluable resource for naval and cultural historians and an enthralling tale for the general reader.

eoeWhat a monumental undertaking! Donald Maxtone(tm)s passion and perseverance in pursuing his goal is topped only by his impeccable scholarship and thorough knowledge of his subject. Kudos and e~Huzzah for Otaheitee(tm) and for Maxton!e, Written with a novelist's eye for detail, a participant's firsthand knowledge, and a literate seaman's plain-spoken clarity, pardoned mutineer James Morrison's account of the Bounty mutiny and its aftermath is an engrossing illustration of humanity at its best and worst. A true seafaring odyssey, After the Bounty leaves the reader with the sense of being present at the events described-it superbly conveys the rich reality of life at sea, the strident clash of cultures, and the exceptional experiences that change, and even end, lives. Above all, the journal is an extraordinary look at the complexity of human behavior, an intimate, sympathetic account of the Tahitian people, and a reminder of the epic dangers and discoveries that make adventure what it is., Donald Maxton has brought James Morrison out of the shadows by publishing for the first time an accessible edition of his lively and absorbing journal, one of the treasures of the Mitchell Library, Sydney.
