In November 2018, a zealous American missionary was killed while attempting to visit an island he called "Satan's last stronghold," a small patch of land known as North Sentinel in the Andaman Islands, a remote archipelago in the Indian Ocean. News of the tragedy fascinated people around the world. Most were unaware such a place still existed in our time: an island unmolested by the advances of modern technology.Twenty years before the American missionary's ill-fated visit, a young American historian and journalist named Adam Goodheart also traveled to the waters off North Sentinel. During his time in the Andaman Islands, he witnessed another isolated tribe emerge into modernity for the first time.Now, Goodheart-a bestselling historian-has returned to the Andamans. The Last Island is a work of history as well as travel, a journey in time as well as place. It tells the stories of others drawn to North Sentinel's mystery through the centuries, from imperial adventurers to an eccentric Victorian photographer to modern-day anthropologists. It narrates the tragic stories of other Andaman tribes' encounters with the outside world. And it shows how the web of modernity is drawing ever closer to the island's shores.

From the internationally bestselling author of Disquiet comes a brilliant political allegory that vividly illustrates how capitalism and authoritarianism harm us and the environment.Having failed to hold onto power after an ironfisted first term, the former president moves to a secluded island and decides to rid it of what he sees as its anarchic components. The island, described by its close-knit community as a utopia, the last peaceful resort for humankind, morphs into dystopia when the president, in the hope of bringing order to island life, begins to act more and more like a dictator. The first ones to revolt against him are the seagulls.Originally written in 2008 as a condemnation of the authoritarian Turkish regime, The Last Island has only grown more relevant, foreshadowing the events and aftermath of Istanbuls bloody Gezi Park/Taksim Square political protests of 2013, as well as the protest movements of our time.
