Produktbeschreibung
The Ship of Coral follows the harrowing journey of men stranded on a deserted islet after a shipwreck. As the narrative unfolds, it explores the emotional and psychological challenges of isolation, survival, and the internal conflict of the protagonist. The two companions grapple with their past, particularly with a woman who has caused tension between them, and are faced with the mystery of an abandoned shipwreck. The story enhances the examination of human relationships, frailty, and the capacity for conflict, especially when trapped in an unyielding environment. One man's internal struggle and guilt after an accidental death shift the focus from physical survival to emotional endurance, delving deeply into themes of loneliness and redemption. The novel uses the setting as a metaphor for the emotional isolation of its characters, accentuating their struggles against both nature and their inner demons. With its focus on psychological complexity and moral dilemmas, the novel presents a profound look at human nature when faced with extreme circumstances.
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.
