Mutiny
ByPublisher Description
Internationally bestselling author John Boyne has been praised as "one of the best and original of the new generation of Irish writers" by the
. With
, he's created an eye-opening story of life—and death—at sea.
Fourteen-year-old pickpocket John Jacob Turnstile has just been caught red-handed and is on his way to prison when an offer is put to him—a ship has been refitted over the last few months and is about to set sail with an important mission. The boy who was expected to serve as the captain's personal valet has been injured and a replacement must be found immediately.
Given the choice of prison or a life at sea, John soon finds himself on board, meeting the captain, just as the ship sets sail. The ship is the Bounty, the captain is William Bligh, and their destination is Tahiti. Their journey, however, will become one of the most infamous in naval history.
Mutiny is the first novel to explore all the events relating to the
's voyage, from the long passage across the ocean to their adventures on the island of Tahiti and the subsequent forty-eight-day expedition toward Timor. This vivid retelling of the notorious mutiny is packed with humor, violence, and historical detail, while presenting an intriguingly different portrait of Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian than has ever been presented before.

“3,25/5
irgendwie weird wie clueless bruno war. i mean den leuten wurden KZs vielleicht verheimlicht aber der junge wusste ja nd mal wer der „furor“ oder juden waren.
das ende war schon schockierend, ich hab zwar gedacht, dass der plan nicht gut enden würde, aber so schlimm hätte ich es jetzt nicht erwartet.
not sure was am ende mit seinem vater passiert ist tho.
ich denke es gibt eine message die gut rübergebracht wurde:
wir fanden schlimm was mit bruno passiert ist, weil er es nicht verdient hat und es generell einfach grausam war. sowas ist aber milionen von menschen geschehen, die nichts ahnend in eine kammer liefen und nie wieder rauskommen durften, ohne einen triftigen grund (jude sein ist obviously kein grund). ich finde das buch hat einem das nochmal gut vor augen gehalten.
boah lange review, aber war mir wichtig”
