O Livro Dos Peixes De Gould by Richard Flanagan
3.0
This is the story of William Gould, a forger and a thief who is sent to Tasmania prison which is ruined by the Commandant - a lunatic tyrant in a gold mask who apparently was a convict himself also.
Through the friendship with Tobias Lempriere - the island surgeon of Sarah Island, Gould starts to paint scientific illustrations of fish, following Darwin's example in another context of course.
With these illustrations, Gould describes the perverse conditions of this prison in the beginning of the 19th century.
However I must confess that this is not an easy book to read, on the contrary.
