He begins a life of serial scamming, swindling everyone from fishermen to aristocrats. He has set his sights on Atlantis, but when his schemes find him in 1930s Berlin, for the first time Einarsson is forced to reckon with something bigger than himself. As the Nazis rise to power around him, his indifference becomes unwitting complicity, and even betrayal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on the true story of Karl Einarsson’s life, this is an outlandish tale of island claustrophobia, of those who leave and those who stay behind, and the many dangers of delusions, deceit, and false identities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donald S Murray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48287128682747,"sku":"9781913393540","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_876c9467-1ceb-4d81-af72-2b5a29671fa7.jpg?v=1771580865","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-call-of-the-cormorant-9781913393540","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
