ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Wager” by David Grann tells the gripping true story of a British naval ship, the H.M.S. Wager, which is wrecked off the coast of Patagonia in the 18th century. Stranded on a desolate island, the survivors must battle the brutal elements, starvation, and their own fears. As tensions rise, the crew faces moral dilemmas, mutiny, and betrayal. The book explores themes of survival, loyalty, and human nature under extreme duress, while also reflecting on the clash between imperial ambition and the human cost. Grann delves into how narratives shape history and the complex truths behind survival.
