EN FEISBN: 9781920731847 bzw. 1920731849, in Englisch, Fremantle Arts Centre Press, Erstausgabe.
Von Händler/Antiquariat, Barclay Books [62878879], York, WA, Australia.
In this decade of artificially created "critical" situations on television shows such as Survivor and Fear Factor, it is important to recall true stories of real peril. Castaway is a compilation of first-hand accounts of 19th century shipwreck survivors. Some are being published for the first time in over a hundred years, and some for the first time ever. All of these stories of eking out an existence on remote, desolate islands in the Indian Ocean are true and have not been embellished. The stories are more fantastic than fiction and they reveal the terror and courage of raw survival and showcase human nature at its worst and at its best. FACP, 2003. First edition. A near fine copy only marked by light soiling to the edges.
