Produktbeschreibung
The Pools Of Silence explores a life filled with academic pursuits that transforms into an unexpected adventure, as a physician embarks on a journey into the wilderness. Faced with a decision to join an expedition into an untamed land, the protagonist is confronted with the complexities of human nature and the harsh realities of the wild. The conflict between civilization and the primal forces of nature looms large, forcing a reckoning with personal morality. As the journey unfolds, the stark contrast between the structured life of society and the untamed unpredictability of the jungle becomes more apparent, testing not only physical endurance but also ethical boundaries. The allure of adventure is tinged with uncertainty, and the protagonist must navigate both external dangers and internal conflicts. The setting, full of tension and raw beauty, enhances the sense of both impending danger and the thrill of exploration, leaving the character to question what sacrifices are necessary in the pursuit of knowledge and survival. The expedition becomes a battleground not only with nature but also with deeper, introspective struggles.
Autorenporträt
Henry de Vere Stacpoole was an Irish author best known for his 1908 romance novel The Blue Lagoon, which has been adapted into several films. Born on April 9, 1863, in D n Laoghaire, Ireland, he became an established writer, publishing works under his own name and occasionally using the pseudonym Tyler de Saix. Stacpoole's literary works often explored themes of love, loss, and human connection, many set in tropical or exotic locations, reflecting his passion for travel and adventure. His writing resonated with readers for its vivid settings and emotional depth, and The Blue Lagoon remains his most famous work. Stacpoole was married twice, first to Margaret de Vere Stacpoole in 1907, and later to Florence Robson in 1938. He passed away at the age of 88 on April 12, 1951, in Shanklin, United Kingdom. His works, though primarily known for their romantic themes, also captured an essence of escapism, making them timeless classics. His legacy endures through his novels and their adaptations into films, which continue to captivate new generations.
