Autorenporträt
Charles Nordhoff (1887–1947) was an American author of maritime novels, whose literary partnership with James Norman Hall resulted in a series of books that captivated readers with their thrilling narratives. Nordhoff's seafaring experiences indelibly shaped his writing, providing authenticity to the stirring accounts of maritime adventure. 'Men Against the Sea' stands as a testimony to his narrative prowess, continuing the story that began with the 'Mutiny on the Bounty', focusing on the incredible voyage of Captain Bligh and his loyal men after the infamous mutiny.

His prose captures both the ferocity of the elements and the resilience of the human spirit, allowing readers to vicariously navigate through the trials and tribulations faced at sea. His contributions to literature are marked by his ability to translate nautical knowledge and his own experiences into stories that not only entertain but also pay homage to the brave individuals who traverse the daunting oceanic expanses.
