Ambientada a finales del siglo XVIII, esta obra maestra de Robert Merle se inspira en la historia real de los amotinados del Bounty. Tras rebelarse contra su tiránico capitán durante un viaje hacia Tahití, un grupo de marineros británicos busca refugio en una isla remota y desconocida. Acompañados por un grupo de tahitianos, los colonos intentan establecer una nueva sociedad basada en principios democráticos, pero las tensiones culturales y sociales pronto desencadenan un conflicto dramático y violento. Esta novela es un fascinante estudio sobre la convivencia, el poder y la naturaleza humana. A través de una narrativa envolvente, el autor explora cómo las estructuras sociales y las diferencias culturales pueden fracturar una comunidad aislada, convirtiendo la búsqueda de una utopía en una lucha por la supervivencia.
Merle Robert Travis was an American country and western singer, songwriter, actor, and guitarist. Born in Rosewood, Kentucky, his songs' lyrics were often about the lives and the economic exploitation of American coal miners. Among his many well-known songs and recordings are "Sixteen Tons", "Re-Enlistment Blues", "I Am a Pilgrim", and "Dark as a Dungeon". He is best known today, though, for his unique guitar style, still called Travis picking by guitarists, as well as his interpretations of the rich musical traditions of his native Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Travis picking is a syncopated style of guitar fingerpicking rooted in ragtime music in which alternating chords and bass notes are plucked by the thumb, while melodies are plucked by the index finger. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970 and elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1977.
