"I, Jeronimus, am a man of phials, a measurer of powders on bronze scales, a potion brewer, an opium and arsenic merchant. The primped and perfumed Am sterdam burghers came to me in droves requiring cures for fevers, love balm s, the miscarriage of a bastard child, and, of course, poisons. Ah, poisons ." So speaks Jeronimus Cornelisz, a thirty-year-old apothecary who transforms before our eyes into a murderous madman. The Company is a novel based on the 1629 voyage of the Dutch East India Com pany flagship Batavia, bound for the colonies with a cargo of untold riches . Among the passengers is Cornelisz, a man ousted from polite society by so rdid rumors of necromancy. Corrupt to the very marrow of his soul, Cornelis z considers himself God's equal, the rightful heir to gold, silver - even a nother man's wife. So twisted is he by lust and greed that he incites a mut iny, running the ship aground on a reef. All is lost - the ship is wrecked, its passengers dying, the treasure trash ed at the bottom of the sea. "The apothecary will heal us," the survivors p ray, believing themselves lucky to be alive. In the name of benevolence, Co rnelisz seizes command of their island refuge. The brave castaways stir wit h hope - until the killing begins. For forty frenzied days, Cornelisz decid es who shall live and who shall die, leaving his victims with just one wish - that they had gone down with the ship.
