In the South Seas (e‑kniha)

'In The South Seas' is a collection of stories from the Pacific Islands curated by Stevenson as he cruised through the islands. The collection is among some of the most important bodies of literature that focus on the Pacific area in the 19th century. The collection acts as a time capsule of tradition and culture that has since been lost to time and offers an incredibly fascinating and valuable insight in to a part of human history rarely given its due attention. The collection covers the various tribal cultures, languages, traditions and societies in the islands making it an important anthropological piece of work. Stevenson brings the vast ocean expanses, the stunning nature and the beauty of Polynesian culture to life in these pages. It is a compelling and deeply fascinating read perfect for anyone who loves David Attenborough's show 'Our Planet'.
