More about the book
The narrative centers on Leendert Hasenbosch, a Dutch ship's officer exiled to Ascension Island in 1725 as punishment for sodomy. His struggle for survival is chronicled in a diary, which was discovered by British mariners the following year. The book reveals the truth about Hasenbosch's life and fate, based on research by historian Michiel Koolbergen. This second edition enhances the original work with illustrations by Anneke de Vries, offering a deeper insight into the historical context and personal experiences of the castaway.
