Esta es la historia estremecedora y verídica de un grupo de náufragos sometidos durante nueve años a las más duras pruebas de supervivencia, entre ellas una extraña guerra a muerte en la cual nunca llegan a verle la cara a sus enemigos. Restrepo writes about the lives of people stranded on a desert island. Ramón Arnaud, a loser in military life, is offered a chance to redeem his past failures and be governor of a tiny island Southwest of the Pacific coast of Mexico. It is to protect the island from the threat of french possession that he is sent there, along with his wife, a troop of soldiers and their families, and a servant. Scurvy and foolishness kill many of the inhabitants, but several survive. This is their true story. Die Autorin erzählt in dieser Mischung aus Roman und Sachbuch die wahre Geschichte der Bewohner der Clipperton Insel. 1908 wurden die etwa 40 Personen auf dieser etwa 1000 km von Mexiko entfernt liegenden Insel angesiedelt, um die Insel gegen etwaige Übernahmen Frankreichs zu verteidigen. Dann aber, im Strudel des mexikanischen Bürgerkriegs, werden die Bewohner vergessen und müssen sich selbst ohne Versorgungsschiff durchschlagen. Ich finde das Buch interessant und durchaus spannend. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In 1908, under orders to defend a tiny, isolated Pacific atoll from an improbable French invasion, Mexican captain Ramón Arnaud, his young bride, Alicia, and eleven soldiers and their families set sail for the so-called Isle of Passion. In this dire, forbidding place, a viable community is created under Ramón's guidance and inspired by Alicia's dedication. But they are soon forgotten by a motherland distracted by political upheaval and the first rumblings of World War I. Left to the mercies of nature and one another—falling victim one by one to disease, hunger, lust, despair, and, ultimately, violence—the castaways who remain must find strength in the courage and steadfast resourcefulness of Alicia Arnaud, upon whom their collective survival now depends. Based on true events, Laura Restrepo's Isle of Passion is a brilliantly rendered and dramatic tale of savage human nature—and one woman's determination to triumph over a harrowing fate.
