Angel Island

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of a shipwreck, the narrative opens with five men lying motionless on the shore, appearing almost lifeless. Their physical and mental states are grim; they are bruised, bloodless, and trapped in a trance-like stupor, staring vacantly at the sea. The scene captures the tension of survival and the psychological impact of their dire situation, suggesting a deep exploration of despair and the human condition in the face of catastrophe.
