内容简介

内容简介

On 29 August 1930 the remaining 36 inhabitants of this bleak but spectacular island off Scotland's western coast took ship for themainland. A community that had survived alone for centuries finally succumbed to the ravages that resulted from mainland contact.What their lives had been like century after century, why they left,and what happened to them afterwards is the subject of Tom Steel's fascinating book. It is the story of a way of life unlike any other, told here in words and pictures, and of how the impact of twentieth-century civilization led to its death.This edition contains new chapters that take account of the lives of those who, for very different reasons and in very different ways, have come to live and work on St Kilda in recent yearsand have continued the extraordinary story of those most gruelling and spectacularly beautiful islands. "First-rate recreation of a vanished way of life" The Scotsman
