Book Description
Reviews
The New York Times
''What caused the mutiny on the Bounty?'' Alexander asks. ''The seductions of Tahiti, Bligh's harshtongue -- perhaps. But more compellingly, a night of drinking and a proud man's pride,
a low moment on one gray dawn, a momentary and fatal slip in a gentleman's code of discipline
and then the rush of consequences to be lived out for a lifetime.''
This sounds almost like Conrad writing, and indeed it would have taken a Conrad to gives us a psychologically satisfactory Christian or Bligh. A sea mist hangs over this age-old tale.
Alexander dispels it, to the reader's fascination. But when all the facts are told and the fates of the cast are duly chronicled, the sea mist settles in again, as impenetrable and yet more
interesting than it has ever been.
