Specificatii
In 1929, Dr. Frederick Ritter and Dore Strauch fled the social and
economic turmoil of post-World War I Germany, choosing to abandon
the chaos of modern civilization, as well as their respective
spouses. They began a quest to reclaim the purity of nature for
themselves. They chose as their Eden the dry, uninhabited volcanic
island of Floreana in the Galapagos chain. Their experiences in
their new paradise-and the ensuing scandals-would captivate the
Western world. Floreana's unforgiving environment hardly proved to
be a idyllic choice, and were it not for the assistance of American
yachters, Ritter and Strauch, naive and unprepared as they were,
might easily have perished during their first year as colonists.
Yacht crews returned with news of the eccentric couple's
adventures, and they became darlings of the Western press. This
unwelcome publicity lead to the arrival of a second family on the
island, soon followed by a pistol-wielding Austrian baroness and
her two young lovers. While not without her charm, this mysterious
aristocrat could also be sinister and controlling. Tensions grew
rapidly, jealousies and resentments raged, and soon this island
with a population of 9 was at war with itself. Floreana was to
become rife with danger, suspicion, murderous thoughts, and a
notorious scandal that still entices today. Who was the Satan who
came to Eden? Was it a singular person, or was it the darkness of
self-destruction that can arise in every human heart? It is a
question for each reader to answer in their own way and it beckons
to the aspiring detective in all of us. Originally published in
1936, Satan Came to Eden meticulously recounts Ritter and Strauch's
often bizarre, true-life struggle from a survivor's point of
view-an account lost to the public for nearly 80 years. Editor
Joseph Troise supplements Strauch's original memoir with previously
unpublished photographs and an informative preface, introducing a
new generation of readers to one of the strangest stories of the
twentieth century. All the satisfaction of a well-plotted mystery
adventure, with the added fun of its all being true--Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle
