The Crater, or, Vulcan’s Peak: A Tale of the Pacific = Кратер, или Пик вулкана: кн. на англ.яз
Description
The Crater; or, Vulcans Peak: a Tale of the Pacifi c is a novel in which Cooper incorporated knowledge of ship construction he had acquired while working as a U.S. Navy midshipman in the 1810s.
From merely surviving the loss of his shipmates and the embayment of his ship within The Reef, protagonist and role-model Mark Woolston goes on to thrive by his own industry. Following a regional volcanic upheaval which raises new land, he founds a similarly industrious and thriving colony after escaping from, then returning to, The Reef. The outnumbered colonists must defend their new homes and possessions against natives who covet the new land.
