| Hobson's Island | comment |
Hobson's Island is the last novel by the Polish-British writer Stefan Themerson. The plot revolves around the eponymous lonely island, inhabited for years solely by the Shepherd family, before, in the late eighties, it suddenly becomes a point of interest to several powerful people and organizations.Serious and philosophical with a dash of comedy, the novel shares its setting with Themerson's previous novels and is, in a way, a conclusion to this universe. | |

Death Faked for You | |
| Hobson's Island / int_369a1bf6 | comment |
Death Faked for You: When the dictator of Bukumla is saved, a corpse of one of the revolutionaries is left hanging on a branch and wearing his medals. It's implied that as far as the people want to know, that's the dictator hanging. | |

Reincarnation | |
| Hobson's Island / int_50f5dabe | comment |
Reincarnation: The original Thomas Hobson, owner of the island, believed in reincarnation, and even bequeathed all his possessions to whoever is born at the exact moment of his death, so that he could keep his wealth across reincarnations. It's implied he does get reincarnated, first as a cow, and later as Georgina Shepherd. Georgina, in any case, has oddly vivid memories of Matilda the cow despite being born after its death. | |

The Speechless | |
| Hobson's Island / int_92a61707 | comment |
The Speechless: Nemo, a stranger who made it onto the island on a raft one day and said no word since. It's suggested he's taken a vow of silence. Except he apparently believes his vow doesn't include constructed languages. | |
