'Bracingly apocalyptic stuff: atmospheric, chock-full of
information and with a constantly escalating sense of pace and
tension' Sunday Telegraph Simon Winchester's brilliant chronicle of
the destruction of the Indonesian island of Krakatoa in 1883 charts
the birth of our modern world. He tells the story of the
unrecognized genius who beat Darwin to the discovery of evolution;
of Samuel Morse, his code and how rubber allowed the world to talk;
of Alfred Wegener, the crack-pot German explorer and father of
geology. In breathtaking detail he describes how one island and its
inhabitants were blasted out of existence and how colonial society
was turned upside-down in a cataclysm whose echoes are still felt
to this day.
