Everland

Autor Rebecca Hunt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 sep 2015
1913. Dinners, Millet-Bass, and Napps-three explorers bound not by friendship, but by a dependence founded on survival-volunteer to leave their ship, the "Kismet," and scout an uncharted and unknown island in the Antarctic, which Napps names "Everland." While all three are enticed by the promise of adventure and reward, they are immortalized by the disastrous outcome of the expedition, their stories preserved for posterity.
2012. Brix, Jess, and Decker-three researchers with their own reasons for being so far from home-set out on a centenary field trip to survey the same island. Their equipment is more advanced than the previous group's, and their purpose more scientific, but the harsh weather of Everland remains an unpredictable and deadly force: the adventure and the danger are inescapable.
Under the harsh ultraviolet light of a sun which doesn't set, and isolated from the world, they begin to echo the expedition of a hundred years ago. History, it seems, has a way of repeating itself-when theirs is written, what will it say?"

Recenzii

Nothing short of stunning . . . something very powerful and unusual indeed
The making and demolishing of heroic myths is just one strand in this wonderful Antarctic adventure . . . Hunt is a talented writer. On my watch this novel would win the Booker
Part-thriller, part adventure story, part social drama and utterly absorbing
Hunt delivers a story that manages to be both surreally absurd and grimly captivating
Thought-provoking and affecting . . . a gripping story
Hunt is an accomplished writer . . . rather captivating
Hunt's Antarctica is beautifully done, and she expresses the enthralment and the hatred for it that the explorers feel
