The cells here - slick with algae and vomit, sweaty with the resigned terror of their occupants - have seen the end of many rogues and more than a few innocents. Born into abject poverty in the British Empire, our narrator aspires to a better life as a ship's surgeon - until a tyrannical captain provokes a mutiny, forcing him into a life of piracy and eventually to a tropical commune of maroons called New Madagascar. Told through a series of confessions to those who visit the narrator during his imprisonment at Marshalsea, The Anatomist's Tale relates one man's brush with the heady freedom of outlaws - and the price of returning to "civilization." 650 0 $a Surgeons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mutiny $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Pirates $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Picaresque fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031427.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1BACCD8A673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
