Download or read book Island on the Edge of the World written by Charles MacLean and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two thousand years the people of St Kilda remained remote from the world. Their society was viable, utopian even; but in the nineteenth century the islands were discovered by missionaries, do-gooders and tourists, who brought with them money, disease and despotism. In 1930, the few remaining islanders were evacuated, no longer able to support themselves. An exploration of the life and death of the remote Hebridean society, Island on the Edge of the World is a moving account of human endeavour.

Download or read book St Kilda and the Wider World written by Andrew Fleming and published by Windgather Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recent archaeological discoveries have revealed that the archipelago was settled by a viable community well before 2000 B.C.; in prehistoric and Norse times, St. Kilda, far from being penalised by 'isolation', may have played a special role within its region. Later written records reveal a well-organised, economically diversified and culturally rich community, which often dealt effectively with outsiders and won their sympathy. Fascinated outsiders usually interpreted St. Kilda in terms of their own world views; eventually the 'natives' behaved as tourists had come to expect, helping to create the iconic island of today."--Jacket.

Evacuated in 1930, she will never forget her life there, nor the man she loved and lost who visited one fateful summer a few years before. Fred Lawson has been captured, beaten and imprisoned in Nazi-controlled France. Making a desperate escape across occupied territory, one thought sustains him: find Chrissie, the woman he should never have left behind on that desolate, glorious isle. The Lost Lights of St Kilda is a sweeping love story that crosses oceans and decades, and a testament to the extraordinary power of hope in the darkest of times. 'A gorgeous, melancholy love story.' The Times 'An undeniably haunting love story.' Sunday Times
