Opis

Using letters and other sources, this book tells the nineteenth-century adventure about Jorgen Jorgenson, a Dane who made Britain his adopted country. Restless for adventure, he began his career by sailing to establish the new colony of Tasmania. He found his moment of glory when he ruled Iceland for two months after staging an outrageous coup.
