About this audiobook

Diese Kurzgeschichte erschien 1879 als Anhang der VE 18 mit dem Buch „Die 500 Millionen der Begum“.
Die Story ist vielen bekannt: Das bewaffnete Transport- und „Forschungs“-Schiff „Bounty“ verlässt 1787 den englischen Hafen Porthmouth. Ihr Kommandant, Leutnant Bligh soll auf den noch unerforschten Südseeinseln, die auch schon damals der Inbegriff des irdischen Paradieses waren, Schößlinge des Brotfruchtbaumes holen. Sie sollten später in Westindien angepflanzt werden. Dieses Schiff wird in Folge, allen voran der erste Offizier Fletcher Christian, von Meuterern erobert und Bligh wird zusammen mit anderen Besatzungsmitgliedern in einer Schaluppe ausgesetzt. In der Erzählung Vernes passiert etwas typisches „vernemäßiges“: Während andere Literaten immer den dramatischen Höhepunkt der Meuterei in den Mittelpunkt stellten, findet Verne die Irrfahrt von Bligh, die eine nautische Höchstleistung darstellt, als besonders berichtenswert. Dieser Erzählweise der nautischen, geographischen und allgemein wissenschaftlichen Leistungen findet seinen Höhepunkt in den von 1864 bis 1880 geschriebenen Geographie- und Geschichtsbüchern Vernes.

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was a French poet and novelist. Born in Besançon, Hugo was the son of a general who served in the Napoleonic army. Raised on the move, Hugo was taken with his family from one outpost to the next, eventually setting with his mother in Paris in 1803. In 1823, he published his first novel, launching a career that would earn him a reputation as a leading figure of French Romanticism. His Gothic novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) was a bestseller throughout Europe, inspiring the French government to restore the legendary cathedral to its former glory. During the reign of King Louis-Philippe, Hugo was elected to the National Assembly of the French Second Republic, where he spoke out against the death penalty and poverty while calling for public education and universal suffrage. Exiled during the rise of Napoleon III, Hugo lived in Guernsey from 1855 to 1870. During this time, he published his literary masterpiece Les Misérables (1862), a historical novel which has been adapted countless times for theater, film, and television. Towards the end of his life, he advocated for republicanism around Europe and across the globe, cementing his reputation as a defender of the people and earning a place at Paris’ Panthéon, where his remains were interred following his death from pneumonia. His final words, written on a note only days before his death, capture the depth of his belief in humanity: “To love is to act.”
