Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the adventures of an inquisitive surgeon who takes to the high seas in the company of a sea captain. Their ship is soon overtaken by pirates, and the surgeon is held captive. When a Dutch pirate treats him with undeserved cruelty, the surgeon seeks revenge against all who sail under the Jolly Roger. Embittered and seeking reprisal, the surgeon finds himself cast adrift in a small boat only to be rescued by an island that floats in the sky. This island, Laputa, is home to an eccentric population who are, unfortunately, disinterested in the surgeon's trauma. Instead, they are wholly preoccupied with advancement in mathematics and music, to the neglect of all else. The author's observations on the Laputian people offer keen insights on the folly of narrow thinking and obliviousness to the needs of those outside their cloistered world.
