Bengt Danielson vidí vzburu v jej svetových historických súvislostiach a stavia tak celú dramatickú udalosť do nového svetla.... obal, 168 strán, 24 obrazovej čiernobielej a farebnej prílohy, tvrdá väzba, väčší formát

About the author
Bengt Danielsson
64 books7 followersBengt Emmerik Danielsson was an anthropologist and a crew member on the Kon-Tiki raft expedition from South America to French Polynesia in 1947. Danielsson was born in Sweden in 1921, obtained a Ph.D. in anthropology and was director of Sweden's National Museum of Ethnology for four years (1967–1971).
After the Kon-Tiki expedition, Danielsson married in Lima a French woman, Marie-Thérèse, and they decided to settle in Raroia, the atoll on which the raft had made landfall. They stayed there from 1949 to 1952, and in 1953 they moved to Tahiti. His doctoral thesis on the Tuamotus island chain, submitted to Uppsala University in 1955, was published the following year as Work and Life on Raroia. He subsequently wrote many books and scripted many films, becoming one of the world's foremost students of Polynesia. He and his wife were particularly outspoken critics of French nuclear tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls, and of the destruction of Polynesian culture through colonialism. Their daughter Maruia (1952–1972) died from cancer.
Danielsson received the Right Livelihood Award for his campaigning work in 1991. He died in July 1997 following a deterioration in his health, and was buried in Mjölby, Sweden.

I read this book at one breath. Then I had to search for details because I could not stop thinking of the men and their fortunes. From this book, this is the list of men who joined captain Bligh in ship's boat (a launch)/ in Slovak: two most hated - cadets - Hayward, Hallet, 3. Fryer (1. kormidelník), 4. Purcell (tesár), 5. Coleman (hlavný lodník, nemýliť si so zbrojmajstrom Cole), 6. Lamb (mäsiar-plavčík), 7. Nelson (botanik, zahynul od vyčerpania na o. Timor), 8. lodný lekár Ledward (pôvodný lodný lekár sa upil a nedožil sa vzbury), 9. Lebogue (plachtár), 10. Thomas Hall (lodný kuchár), 11. pisár Samuel, 12. sluha Smith = John Smith (nemýliť si so vzbúrencom Alecom Smithom), 13. Elphinstone (druhý kormidelník), 14. závodčík Linkletter, 15. Tinkler (Fryerov švagor), 16. Peckover (delostrelec) a 17. bol tučný Norton, ktorého zabili domorodci na Tofue.
Osudy: 6. a 8. zahynuli cestou z Batávie do Anglicka, na bahennú horúčku umreli v Batávii 10., 13. a 14.
Medzi tými, čo dobrovoľne alebo nechtiac zostali na Bounty, bol aj huslista Byrne.
Bountyovci sa neskôr rozdelili na osadníkov na Tahiti a "hľadačov strateného raja". Medzi tými, ktorí by radi išli s Blighom, ale boli zadržaní Christianom, boli: tesár Norman, pomocný tesár McIntosh a zbrojmajster Cole. Zoznam tých, čo ostali na Bounty, žiaľ, nie je uvedený v knihe, ale je tam zoznam osadníkov na Pitcairne a na jednej-dvoch stranách sú spomínaní osadníci na Tahiti, chybne aj Hayward, ktorý mal byť na barkase. Medzi lojálnych sa ráta kadet Stewart, do vzbury najlepší priateľ Christiana a pomocný lodník Morrison (neskôr takmer obesený). Prvý vzbúrenec by sa dal rátať Quintal alebo Churchill. Williams sa vôbec nespomína, ale na Pitcairne vystupuje ako zručný kováč. Vzbúrenci: Musprat, Skinner (utopil sa pri stroskotaní Pandory), Hillbrant (zostal v Pandorinom puzdre), Summer (od potopenia Pandory nezvestný - spolu so Stewartom), Heywood (?), Millward, Thompson, Burkett, Ellison. Malo by byť 16 tých, čo sa osadili na Tahiti. Quintal ale bol na Picairne. Počty celkom nesedia, možno sa to poddá pri treťom čítaní...
Only three of the rebels were hanged after all. All of the settlers on Tahiti cooperated on building a scooner - and later it was sold on Timor or Batavia and they had nothing of it. Together with their helpers of Tahitian origin. Stewart disappeared when Pandora sunk. All "Tahitans" suffered on the ship and after until they reached England under captain Edwards. Justice does not exist in this World. If you believe in justice, read this book!
