Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Soundings Edge: Book One of the Nicholas Cruwys Naval SeriesIn the spring of 1774, fourteen-year-old Nicholas Cruwys leaves behind the stone halls of Exeter and the ancestral pride of a faded Devonshire line to join His Majesty's Navy. Quiet, observant, and untested, he enters a world where the rigid structures of Georgian society meet the harsh meritocracy of wooden ships and iron discipline.As a young gentleman at sea, Nicholas must navigate not only wind and tide but the intricate social currents of a naval service where worth is measured in equal parts by birth, connection, and ability. The ship becomes his academy, the quarterdeck his testing ground, and the diverse company of officers and men his most demanding instructors.When Nicholas is posted to HMS Resolution under Captain James Cook, he joins an expedition to the far reaches of the Pacific-a voyage of scientific inquiry and imperial ambition. Among the islands of the South Seas, he encounters societies that challenge everything he has been taught about rank, propriety, and human connection. As he moves between the ordered world of the naval vessel and the complex social fabric of Tahiti and the surrounding archipelagos, Nicholas finds himself questioning the certainties of his upbringing and the nature of civilization itself.Soundings Edge weaves together the precision of maritime detail with the delicate threads of human sentiment and societal constraint. It is a portrait of an age in transition, where Enlightenment ideals clash with ancient traditions, and where a young man's understanding of himself-and his place in an expanding world-evolves with each new horizon. More than a tale of naval adventure, it is an exploration of the heart's uncharted territories and the quiet revolutions of the mind that shape a life's course.…
