About the Book
As well as being the story of a man displaying a pioneer spirit, this is also a story of adventure. As he moved from one opportunity to the next in a young country, whatever he achieved, he was motivated by a desire to be an honest and good man, and underlying everything, a desire to be self sufficient.
After building up a life on a tiny island far from home, the world gradually pulled him back. After all, no man is an island, even if he lives on one. But despite this he still held on to his dream, of building his own boat, so he could enjoy the one pass time that he loved so much as a young man in Germany: to sail.

About the Creator
Duncan Menge's travel photographs capture stories in split seconds of time. He freezes moments that disappear as soon as the shutter closes - moments even the protagonists in his stories may never be aware of. He is a close observer of people and movement - sometimes directly engaging with his subject, at others invisible to them. The beauty that shines through in his perfectly composed images, comes from his engagement with daily life around him and an ability to notice small details alongside the grand. Menge's photographs reflect curiosity, empathy, tenderness, compassion and humour. They also reflect a masterful understanding of light and shadow. Cassie French Curator and Photographer
