Dora Strauch Ritter
Dora Strauch Ritter was a German physician and philosopher who emigrated to Floreana Island in the Galápagos in the late 1920s with her lover, Friedrich Ritter, in pursuit of a utopian lifestyle based on Nietzschean principles. Strauch documented their experiences in her book 'Satán visitó el Edén,' which recounts the challenges and conflicts faced by the small group of settlers, including the mysterious disappearance of the baroness Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn. Following the tumultuous events on the island, she eventually returned to Europe after the death of her partner, leaving behind a legacy intertwined with the darker chapters of Floreana's history.
