"On sait que les trois livres qui composent le cycle romanesque inspiré par la mutinerie de la « Bounty » peuvent se lire dans un ordre indifférent : chacun d'eux est une oeuvre qui se suffit à elle-même.
Celui-ci évoque l'aventure de cette poignée de révoltés qui, maîtres du navire gagnèrent l'îlot de Pitcairn, perdu au fin fond du Pacifique Sud, pour se mettre à l'abri de la justice des hommes.
Quinze hommes et douze femmes, Blancs et « Indiens » liés par le même destin, se réfugient donc, un beau jour de 1790. sur ce rocher désert et v fondent une minuscule république.
Leur chef, Fletcher Christian, acquis aux idées nouvelles, entend partager équitablement la terre et traiter Blancs et Indiens sur le même pied.
Il lui faudra admettre qu'il s'agit là d'un rêve - lequel ne tardera pas à se transformer en cauchemar...
Nordhoff et Hall, qui furent dans l'entre-deux-guerres, à la suite de Conrad, les vrais rénovateurs de la fiction aventureuse, oeuvrent ici en romanciers - mais ils ont mené leur enquête en historiens. Leur récit, pour incroyable qu'il soit, ne se fonde que sur la réalité la plus exactement repérée."
"Of all the books in the Triology, it is clear that the mutineers and their decendants bore the brunt of the tresspass commited onboard the famous Bounty. This is a hard book to read, as it is a very disturbing tale - especially through the middle - but for those who persevere there is a tale of redemption amidst consequences for sin.
Although it should be noted that Pitcairn's troubles seem to continue (even today) with evacuations due to overpopulation, and recent trials concerning a pattern of child molestation that many considered "cultural"."
