Journalists Nordhoff and Hall began writing together in 1920 and soon moved to Tahiti to research and develop articles for Harper’s Magazine. After settling there, they expanded their collaboration to include novels inspired by the island and its history. Drawing on Sir John Barrow’s The Mutiny of the Bounty (1831) for inspiration, the writers enjoyed “enormous popular and critical success” with this first volume in a trilogy about the H.M.S. Bounty. Their work “remains a model of meticulous research, realistic plotting and dialogue, and romantic painterly description” (ANB). The novel has been adapted for film and television numerous times, most notably in the 1935 version starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, and in the 1962 production featuring Marlon Brando as Fletcher Christian.
