Description
Loosely inspired by the true story behind the mutiny on the Bounty, The Island tells the tale of a group of English mutineers and Polynesians who settle on a remote island in the South Pacific during the 18th century. What begins as a hopeful attempt to create a peaceful and egalitarian society quickly devolves into chaos, revealing the fragility of civilization and the darker sides of human nature. Merle masterfully explores themes of power, cultural clash, freedom, and the struggle between idealism and brutality. The novel offers a gripping and thoughtful reimagining of a historical episode, blending adventure and moral complexity.
