British postman-turned-journalist Daniel Bosley spent seven years undertaking personal journeys and historical research in the Maldives. In a travel memoir that covers the Maldives’ tumultuous history including imperialists, sultans, presidents and dictators, he presents a view of a precarious democracy and a natural environment on the verge of collapse. Bosley’s account unravels the picture-perfect view of what most see as a tourist paradise.
Bosley is a journalist whose unlikely career path saw him go from being a postman in Cheshire to reporting on political crises in the Republic of Maldives. He was the editor of local newspaper Minivan News. His work has also appeared in international publications, including the Economist, Reuters and Himal Southasian. He later co-founded the history and culture website Two Thousand Isles with his wife, photographer Aishath Naj. He currently lives and works in London. READ MORE FROM ARTICLE 14
