South Sea Tales Illustrated

By: London, Jack

The stories in South Sea Tales, like the well-known Klondike Tales, draw their power from the author's own far-flung adventures, conveying an impassioned, unsparing vision borne only of experience. The compelling stories collected here vividly evoke the turn-of-the-century colonial Pacific and its erratic tropical landscape, while also trenchantly observing imperialism's delicate interplay with the exotic. "When London's stories click, we are utterly there, at the edge of the world and the limit of human endurance," writes Tony Horwitz in his Introduction.
