Abstract

Based on the accounts of the sole survivors of the marine exploration expedition organised by the American writer James Jones to the Island of Mljet in 1961, as well as on his manuscript legacy deposited in the Ransom University Library in the USA, the author traces Jones' exploits of Dubrovnik and Mljet in his novel Go to the Widow Maker growing directly out of these experiences, which the writer explicitly denied.
