About the author

James Hamilton-Paterson is a British poet, novelist, and one of the most private literary figures of his generation. Educated at Exeter College, Oxford, he began his career as a journalist before emerging as a novelist with a distinctive lyrical style. He gained early recognition for Gerontius, a Whitbread Award-winning novel, and went on to write Ghosts of Manila and America’s Boy, incisive works reflecting his deep engagement with the Philippines. His interests range widely, from history and science to aviation, as seen in Seven-Tenths and Empire of the Clouds. He also received praise for his darkly comic Gerald Samper trilogy. Hamilton-Paterson divides his time between Austria, Italy, and the Philippines and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2023.

Reviews

[Dr. Tobias Christian Fischer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Von Malta bis Hawaii - Reisen und Tourismus zerstören Flora und Fauna auf Inseln. Es gibt viele Reiseziele, die Meere und Ozeane haben. Das Meer zu beobachten beruhigt und regt auf. Das Bild von Piraten werden häufig als Freiheit-liebend und romantisch dargestellt, obwohl sie wohl eher heutzutage Terroristen wären. Strandurlaub wird mit Erholung verbunden und das Meer hat einen Einfluss auf Kunst und Kultur.
