Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Cast Away recounts the epic tales of the survivors of shipwrecks, mutiny and marooning through the ages and around the globe, focusing on the age of sail and steam.

It captures some of the most magical, romantic, gruesome, exciting and bizarre stories of the sea, presenting for the reader's delectation the suffering of innocents; the ruthless predations of pirates; the last-resort horrors of cannibalism; the sinister lure of wreckers with false lights; encounters with ferocious indigenous tribes; the unfettered madness of religious maniacs and psychopaths; and survival against all odds. And behind every tale of tragedy or triumph is the eternal mystery and majesty of the depthless, merciless, unpredictable ocean.

Cast Away presents its stories grouped by region of the world, with the accounts organised chronologically within each section. (back cover)
