Sixteen Stranded on a Desert Island

A nautical, non-fiction adventure from Japan

A tale of survival from the last years of the Age of Sail... In the year 1898, a Japanese sailing vessel set out into the Pacific Ocean to conduct exploratory and fishing research. No one on board could have expected to survive the disaster that befell them, but somehow the crew of the shipwrecked 'Ryusui Maru' lived to tell the tale. Even as fiction it would be a formidable story, but Kunihiko Sugawa's story is a description of real events, and a long-running non-fiction bestseller in Japan.



A note from the publisher: Kunihiko Sugawa's original work Mujinto ni Ikiru Jyurokunin is based on a true story and has been a bestseller in Japan since 1943. Originally written to appeal to young adult readers, the book has since attracted a broad audience and is highly rated on amazon.co.jp.
