Book Description
In a hauntingly beautiful and unique tale, Alberto Villoldo tells the tale of a fisherman who hooks the bones of a young girl that was swept away by a tidal wave as he comes to care for the life she had beneath the waves. A great tidal wave sweeps down on a small Aleutian village, carrying a young girl named Annuk to the bottom of the sea. Her bones lie undisturbed on the ocean floor for years… until the day a fisherman hooks her on his line and pulls Annuk out of the water. At first sight, the fisherman is terrified at the sight of a skeleton. But as he slowly begins to consider Annuk’s life, he comes to pity her as he imagines how lonely she must have been living beneath the waves for all those years.

Skeletons on the Zahara
Author: Dean King
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0759509697
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
b.A masterpiece of historical adventure, ISkeletons on the Zahara The western Sahara is a baking hot and desolate place, home only to nomads and their camels, and to locusts, snails and thorny scrub -- and its barren and ever-changing coastline has baffled sailors for centuries. In August 1815, the US brig Commerce was dashed against Cape Bojador and lost, although through bravery and quick thinking the ship's captain, James Riley, managed to lead all of his crew to safety. What followed was an extraordinary and desperate battle for survival in the face of human hostility, starvation, dehydration, death and despair. Captured, robbed and enslaved, the sailors were dragged and driven through the desert by their new owners, who neither spoke their language nor cared for their plight. Reduced to drinking urine, flayed by the sun, crippled by walking miles across burning stones and sand and losing over half of their body weights, the sailors struggled to hold onto both their humanity and their sanity. To reach safety, they would have to overcome not only the desert but also the greed and anger of those who would keep them in captivity. From the cold waters of the Atlantic to the searing Saharan sands, from the heart of the desert to the heart of man, Skeletons on the Zahara is a spectacular odyssey through the extremes and a gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.
