Cast away : or, The surprising adventures of Alexander Selkirk
De Tores, Francesca2026
Book
1704: Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk is abandoned by his crew on an uninhabited island. With wild goats and cats as his only companions, he must confront not only the urgent challenges of survival, but also the unsavoury past that has brought him here. What kind of man is deserted to face near-certain death? As his isolation deepens, Selkirk's experience takes an extraordinary and often blackly comic turn, for the island's consolations prove as unexpected as its trials. The longer he is stranded, the more Selkirk wonders if he will ever escape the island, and in what ways he will be changed if he does.
