Hardback. Condición: Very Good. In 1844, when barely 14, Charles Nordhoff managed to talk his way into the U.S. Navy. He was better educated than most of his fellow seamen, and was well equipped to describe what became a three-year around-the-world adventure. He was lucky in his ship, USS Columbus, a large 74-gun ship of the line on a diplomatic mission to China, and then to Japan, in an abortive attempt to open the latter to American trade. Nordhoff visited many countries of south-east Asia and South America, before finally returning to Norfolk, Virginia, having crossed the Equator six times. …

Here in one volume is the complete Bounty trilogy: Mutiny on the Bounty, Men against the Sea, and Pitcairn Island. Compared to the work of Conrad and Stevenson, the saga of Captain Bligh, Fletcher Christian and the crew of HMS Bounty is one of the most stirring sea adventures ever told. Mutiny on the Bounty Mutiny on the Bounty recounts the 1789 uprising aboard HMS Bounty, told through the eyes of midshipman Roger Byam, who witnesses the growing conflict between Captain William Bligh and his increasingly resentful crew. Bligh's harsh discipline and the crew's longing for Tahitian freedom fuel tensions that culminate in Fletcher Christian leading a violent mutiny. Byam and other loyalists are cast adrift with Bligh, whose extraordinary navigation skills guide the small boat thousands of miles to safety. Back in England, Byam faces trial for mutiny despite his innocence, struggling to clear his name. The novel blends adventure, courtroom drama, and moral ambiguity, portraying the mutiny as both a human tragedy and a clash of authority versus freedom. Men Against the Sea This novel follows Captain Bligh and the loyal crew members forced into an open launch after the mutiny, focusing on their desperate 3,600‑mile voyage across the Pacific. The men endure starvation, storms, and hostile waters with only Bligh's navigational brilliance keeping them alive. Told from the perspective of surgeon's mate Thomas Ledward, the story highlights the physical and psychological toll of survival at sea. Despite overwhelming odds, Bligh brings the boat safely to Timor, a feat considered one of the greatest in maritime history. The book is a stark, disciplined survival narrative emphasizing endurance, leadership, and the razor‑thin line between life and death. Pitcairn's Island The final volume tells the fate of Fletcher Christian and the mutineers who settle on remote Pitcairn Island with their Tahitian companions. Initially hopeful, the settlers quickly descend into jealousy, violence, and cultural conflict as the small community fractures. Christian struggles with guilt and the burden of leadership, unable to prevent the escalating bloodshed. The island becomes a microcosm of human weakness, where mistrust and revenge destroy nearly all the original settlers. The novel ends with the few survivors forging a fragile new society, haunted by the mutiny's legacy but determined to endure.…
