Islands in the Stream

Más información sobre el libro

"The book is divided into three parts, of which the first describes the life of a painter Thomas Hudson in the mid-1930's on the island of Bimini in the Gulf Stream. His loneliness, and also, in part, the routine discipline of his work are broken by the vacation visit of his three young sons, and there follows a series of lively episodes including one of the best descriptions of deep sea fishing ever written. The second part takes place a number of years later in Cuba in war-time where Hudson is engaged in secret anti-submarine activities ... The last part takes place shortly aftewards on board Hudson's improvised Q-boat, hunting down the survivors of a German submarine."--Dust jacket flaps
