Produktbeschreibung

"A great, creepy tender read."
Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi

At the edge of the Antarctic Circle a steamship approaches a desolate island. On board is a young man, poised to take up the post of weather observer. But on shore he finds no trace of the man he has been sent to replace, just a
deranged castaway who refuses to speak. For the next twelve months his entire world will consist of a deserted
cabin, trees, rocks, silence and the surrounding sea.

Then night begins to fall . . .

"A thrillingly vivid hallucination . . . it overtook my dreams . . . Sánchez Piñol creates a struggle for survival that is, at the same time, a meditation on humanity. An island story, following a long line through Robinson Crusoe right up to The Beach."
The Times

"Superbly controlled and creepy."
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

"Remarkable . . . an addictive and unsettling read."
ALAN WARNER

"A brilliantly suspenseful debut novel."
SPECTATOR
