The son of a Polynesian chief becomes the slave of a white man. These stories and others portray life in the South Seas in the days of tall ships a century ago. In powerful and compelling language that seems not the least bit dated, Jack London tells eight tales of high daring and great savagery, of bravery and death, even of occasional humour, that could only take place in the exotic South Sea islands. Based around themes London considered important - race, culture, justice, and heroism - the stories derive their intensity from the author's own far-flung adventures, conveying an impassioned, unsparing vision borne only of experience."
  • ""Lloyd James reads [these stories] wonderfully, turning a one-man reading into a lyrical presentation that feels like a full-cast production." Most readers are familiar with Jack London's stories of the frozen northland, such as 'White Fang' and 'To light a fire', but many critics feel he should be equally acknowledged for his fascinating stories of the South Pacific."
