Beskrivelse
New Zealander Tom Neale spent a total of sixteen years alone, in three spells, on the uninhabited Suwarrow coral atoll, half a mile long and three hundred yards wide in the South Pacific. He first went there on October 7, 1952, from Rarotonga, and remained alone until June 24, 1954, when he was taken off ill after a dramatic rescue. The island was two hundred miles from the nearest inhabited island. He returned for a second stay from 1960 - 1963, and his third stay, until 1977. This book, "Hermit Of Suwarrow - Tom Neale's Atoll", is his autobiography which records all the perils, joys and survival of hurricanes and storms while living as a self-imposed castaway on a small tropical island.
