Gli ammutinati del Bounty. E-book. Formato EPUB Charles Nordhoff - Passerino, 2022 -
L'ammutinamento del Bounty, avvenuto nel 1789, è il più famoso atto di sedizione nella storia della marina del Regno Unito. Da esso sono state tratte diverse trasposizioni cinematografiche e un racconto di Jules Verne, I ribelli del Bounty. Questo romanzo scritto nel 1932 dai due autori americani Charles Nordhoff e James Hall, molto fedele alla vicenda storica, narra le gesta di Peter Heywood (nel romanzo il personaggio Roger Byam), giovane ufficiale del Bounty all'epoca dei fatti.
