Mutiny on the Bounty
Book • 1947
Mutiny on the Bounty is a historical novel based on the true story of the mutiny against Captain William Bligh of the HMS Bounty in 1789.
The novel vividly portrays the arduous voyage of the Bounty to Tahiti, where the crew becomes enamored with the island's idyllic lifestyle and the friendly natives.
Tensions rise as Bligh's harsh discipline and tyrannical behavior clash with the crew's desire for freedom and comfort.
Led by Acting Lieutenant Fletcher Christian, the crew eventually revolts against Bligh, casting him and a group of loyalists adrift in a small boat.
The mutineers, after returning to Tahiti, eventually settle on the remote Pitcairn Island, where they attempt to create a new society free from the constraints of British naval authority.
