Description du livre
The Blue Lagoon Trilogy by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a captivating tale of innocence, survival, love, and the unspoiled forces of nature. This collected edition brings together all three novels in the classic trilogy: The Blue Lagoon, The Garden of God, and The Gates of Morning—charting the multi-generational story of children lost to civilization and raised in the wild beauty of the South Pacific.
The journey begins with The Blue Lagoon, where two young cousins, shipwrecked on a deserted island, grow up in isolation and discover life, love, and instinct away from society. The sequel, The Garden of God, continues with the story of their son, who inherits their world and faces new challenges in understanding his identity and place in the universe. The final book, The Gates of Morning, shifts to a broader narrative, introducing new characters and cultures while exploring themes of tradition, colonialism, and change.
Written in lyrical prose and rich in atmosphere, this trilogy is both a romantic adventure and a philosophical exploration of nature versus nurture. Timeless, sensual, and thought-provoking, The Blue Lagoon Trilogy remains a unique contribution to early 20th-century fiction.
