Książka w języku angielskim. Paul O'Rourke is a man made of contradictions: he loves the world, but doesn't know how to live in it. He's a Luddite addicted to his iPhone, a dentist with a nicotine habit, a rabid Red Sox fan devastated by their victories, and an atheist not quite willing to let go of God. Then someone begins to impersonate Paul online, and he watches in horror as a website, a Facebook page, and a Twitter account are created in his name. What begins as an outrageous violation of his privacy soon becomes something more soul-frightening: the possibility that the online "Paul" might be a better version of the real thing. As Paul's quest to learn why his identity has been stolen deepens, he is forced to confront his troubled past and his uncertain future in a life disturbingly split between the real and the virtual.

Gatunek

Powieść

Książka w języku angielskim. “Men Against the Sea” is the second novel in “The Bounty Trilogy”, a series of novels that describe the voyage, mutiny, and subsequent adventures of the officers and crew of HMS Bounty during its voyage from Spithead on the English Channel to Tahiti in the South Pacific. On April 28th, 1789, disaffected crewmen led by Lieutenant Fletcher Christian seized control of the Bounty somewhere about 30 miles south of the tropical island of Tofua. The ship’s captain, William Bligh, along with eighteen men loyal to him, were crowded onto the Bounty’s 20-foot launch, provided with food and water sufficient for five days, and set adrift. Bligh calculated that the ship’s launch would need to cross 3,500 miles of open water before reaching the nearest European settlement on the island of Dutch Timor. This great novel is based on the actual events as recorded by the men on the launch, including Bligh’s log. In one of history’s most awe-inspiring adventures, and against all odds, Bligh brought all but one of his men to safety. How he accomplished this is brilliantly described by Nordhoff and Hall in “Men Against the Sea.”
