Description
The Out-Islands By Martin Edwards A collection of islands that have been safe-havens for pirates, escaped slaves and the super-rich. Located in the Caribbean, they are said to be home to Atlantis, but their true nature remains shrouded in mystery. The islands' names - such as Paradise Island and Peace and Plenty Island - belie a more complex history. Martin Edwards lived near these islands for several years, although he never had the chance to visit them himself. Despite this, they continue to exist, just over the horizon. This book explores themes of paradise and its discontents, homesickness and utopian longing, as well as the experiences of those who travel to or live on the islands. The Out-Islands is a thought-provoking exploration of a unique and fascinating place.
