Far Land

A thrilling true tale of power, obsession, and betrayal at the edge of the world In 1808,&nbsp;an American merchant ship happened upon an uncharted island in the South Pacific and unwittingly solved the biggest nautical mystery of the era: the whereabouts of a band of fugitives who, after seizing their vessel, had disappeared into the night with their Tahitian companions.&nbsp; &nbsp; Pitcairn Island was the perfect hideaway from British authorities, but after nearly two decades of isolation its secret society had devolved into a tribalistic hellscape; a real-life&nbsp;Lord of the Flies,&nbsp;rife with depravity and deception. &nbsp; Seven generations later, the island's diabolical past still looms over its 48 residents; descendants of the original mutineers, marooned like modern castaways. Only a rusty cargo ship connects Pitcairn with the rest of the world, just four times a year. &nbsp; &nbsp; In 2018, Brandon Presser rode the freighter to live among its present-day families; two clans bound by circumstance and secrets. While on the island, he pieced together Pitcairn's full story: an operatic saga that holds all who have visited in its mortal clutch--even the author.&nbsp; &nbsp; Told through vivid historical and personal narrative,&nbsp;The Far Land&nbsp;goes beyond the infamous mutiny on the&nbsp;Bounty,&nbsp;offering an unprecedented glimpse at life on the fringes of civilization, and how, perhaps, it's not so different from our own.&nbsp;

Setting out to choose Europe's top 60 national parks was no easy task, so we called on our expert writers and well-travelled editors. We asked them to tell us which parks provide the best experiences and why.
