| The Far Land: 200 Years of Murder, Mania, and Mutiny in the South Pacific by Brandon PresserWhat it is: a mix of history and travelogue focused on remote Pitcairn Island in the Pacific Ocean, where the HMS Bounty mutineers hid from British authorities in 1789, starting new lives with their Tahitian wives, and where today 48 people live, most of whom are descended from the original mutineers.
What happened: Arriving via container ship, author Brandon Presser tried to get to know the islanders, some of whom were reticent to talk. While waiting three months for the next ship, he delved deep into the island's history, explored, and endured bugs and nightly power cuts. |
