Description
The heroes of the partially autobiographical novel are the destroyer Ludgate, launched in the Rosyth docks, and seventeen-year-old Nick, an orphan thrown into the world from the ruins of a bombed home in the suburbs of London. The book was first published in England in 1979 and four years later in our country, and numerous reprints in Great Britain and translations into various languages testify to its bold inclusion among famous works. The intertwining of the harsh life aboard a warship navigating the North Sea and the icy ocean and Nick's growing love for young Pavlína, the only person left in the world for him, only heightens the dramatic tension and impact of Bonnett's literary return to events that still leave readers unsettled.
