«Verdammt im Paradies» is a collection of stories by James A. Michener, published by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag in paperback (203 pages, in German).
The book brings together true stories of nine men and one woman who sought fame, fortune or power in the Pacific: a mutinous sailor, a marquis who sends settlers to a deadly island, Governor Bligh, the pirate Coxinga, Dona Isabel and a young Englishman who ends up as an adviser to the King of Tonga. These are stories of ambition, exoticism and adventure.
The English original, «Rascals in Paradise», was published in 1957 and was written together with Grove Day; this German Heyne edition is from 1979.
For readers of adventure fiction and true stories about the Pacific, its characters and its conflicts.
