Sobre este artículo
Australia.: Black Inc.. 2005.. Maps, colour photographic illustrations, xvi + 113 pages, slight shelf wear, prior owner's signature in pencil front free endpaper, small octavo, good hardback copy in dustjacket. "In 1629, the ship Batavia, pride of the Dutch East India Company, was wrecked on a coral archipelago off the west coast of Australia. Most people on board escaped from drowning, only to become victims of a visionary psychopath who organised a terrifying methodical massacre.
Acclaimed sinologist and author Simon Leys travelled to the site, discovering that the natural environment could have provided decent living conditions for the survivors; the massacre therefore appearing all the more aberrant." (Publisher's description). .
