Description - Cannibals and Carnage: Thrilling Tales of the Sea (vol.1) by Graham Faiella
The first of Graham Faiella's thrilling collections of tales focuses on stories of cannibals (both indigenous peoples and desperate crews stranded at sea) and carnage. Recounting the true-life adventures and misfortunes of mariners in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these are stories of courage and infamy, and often awful deaths in remote places where social norms were battered and, ultimately, shattered. These were human dramas, and lives lived on the edge. Be thankful for your safe passage. AUTHOR: Graham Faiella has a deep and abiding interest in the lives of seafarers and ships, particularly of the deep-sea sailing ship era. He has personally sailed as crew on yachts, twice across the Atlantic, and on a 1750 tonne motor yacht around the world in 18 months (1973/74). He has previously written several non-fiction works and accumulated a library collection of c.1000 books on ships, seafarers and navigation, etc. He lives in London. 20 b/w illustrations
