These seven stories, written between 1965 and 1975 while the author
was serving in the Royal Navy, take the reader on travels across
the world, from the old Portuguese colony of Macao in China to the
sardine fishing grounds off Lisbon; from the island of Lamu on the
east coast of Kenya to the cockpit of an Airborne Early Warning
aircraft on patrol off Mozambique, and from Pulau Tioman, an island
off the east coast of Malaya, to the remote Portuguese vineyards of
Vargelas in the upper Douro. Together they form a vivid snapshot of
the world as it was in the mid twentieth century.
Blackwood's Magazine was founded in 1817 by the publisher
William Blackwood. "'Maga, '" as it came to be called, published
the works of leading British romanticists Percy Bysshe Shelley and
Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Other famous contributors include the
novelists George Eliot, Joseph Conrad and John Buchan. Blackwood's
Magazine finally stopped publication in 1980, having been owned and
edited throughout its lifetime by the Blackwood family.
