Beschrijving

Embark on a riveting journey with Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor turned buccaneer, who survived four years of isolation on a deserted island off the coast of Chile. This enthralling account is not just about his battle against nature, but also an introspective look into Selkirks life before the ordeal. Author Howell meticulously researched Selkirk’s life, delving into parish records of his hometown, Largo in Fife, Scotland, conducting interviews with surviving relatives, and sifting through accounts of his fellow sailors. Discover the real-life “survivor man” narrative, a timeless tale of wit, courage, and survival.
