What do I care about the stones left above or below after the cataclysm?" But he fails to translate this poetry into practice. At the first sign of shooting, he flees...
When a long-dormant volcano spewed molten rock over their windswept Atlantic island in October 1961, the 260 inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha were rescued and brought to never-had-it-so-good Britain.

In a frenzy of creativeness they were producing new materials, machines, instruments, methods...
