"Such wild stories, such beautiful scenes, such singular intimacies, such manners and traditions, so incredible a mixture of the beautiful and horrible, the savage and civilized." That was how Robert Louis Stevenson described his travelog, a record of his travels with his wife Fanny and their family in the Marquesas, the Paumotus, and the Gilbert Islands during 1888–89.
Serving as a combination of personal anecdote and historical account, of autobiography and anthropology, this book describes South Seas culture, language, traditions and society: anthropology, history, and sociology together with personal impressions.
