Reading The Blue Lagoon | Alexandria
Read The Blue Lagoon by H. de Vere Stacpoole. Surviving a shipwreck leads two Victorian children to create their own paradise on a remote Pacific island - but their awakening sexuality shatters their innocence. Stacpoole's sensual exploration of human nature versus civilization sparked controversy, yet revealed how isolation strips away social constructs to expose raw biological truths about coming-of-age.
