In The South Seas is a travelogue book written by the famous Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. The book was first published in 1896 and is a collection of Stevenson's experiences during his travels in the South Pacific islands, including the Marquesas, Samoa, and Tahiti. The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes Stevenson's journey from San Francisco to the Marquesas Islands, where he spent several months living among the locals and immersing himself in their culture. He writes about their customs, traditions, and beliefs, as well as the natural beauty of the islands. The second part of the book is dedicated to Stevenson's time in Samoa, where he settled with his family and lived for several years. He writes about his interactions with the Samoan people, their way of life, and the political turmoil that was happening at the time. Stevenson also shares his thoughts on colonialism and imperialism, which were hotly debated topics during his time in Samoa. Throughout the book, Stevenson's writing is vivid and engaging, and he provides a unique perspective on the South Pacific islands and their people. In The South Seas is a fascinating read for anyone interested in travel writing, anthropology, or the history of the South Pacific.The glow continued and increased, the business, from the main part, ceased before it had begun. Twice in the day there was a certain stir of shepherding along the seaward hills. At times a canoe went out to fish. At times a woman or two languidly filled a basket in the cotton patch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
