The Isle of Devils is a historical novel written by Matthew Gregory Lewis and published in 1827. The story is based on an anecdote from the annals of Portugal and is set in the 16th century. The novel follows the journey of a group of Portuguese sailors who are shipwrecked on an island inhabited by a mysterious and dangerous tribe. The sailors must find a way to survive on the island and escape the wrath of the tribe, who are known for their brutal and savage ways. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful native girl who becomes the object of desire for one of the sailors. The novel is a thrilling adventure tale that explores themes of survival, love, and the clash of cultures. It is a gripping read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
