Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mutiny Piratical Seizure of H. M.S. Bounty Our maritime history has been often illustrated by tales of fortitude and endurance. That, notwithstanding the seductive offers of ease and luxury pressed upon them by modern scientific invention and progress in mechanical appliances, Englishmen are still ready of their own free will to brave dangers of a specially appalling character and undertake exploits demanding for their execution almost incredible powers of endurance, has been proved by the history of Antarctic exploration. Readiness to incur serious risks, to confront great perils, and to exhibit unsurpassable self-devotion is not, of course, confined to the officers and men of the Royal Navy, or even to our seamen generally. Nevertheless, no history includes an episode in which the actors faced conditions, arduous beyond precedent, with greater courage, and at the same time showed a greater capacity for bearing prolonged hardships and privation to which it would be difficult to discover a parallel, than are to be found in the episode recorded in the narrative of The Mutiny of the ´Bounty.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
