Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from South Sea Settlers Much has been written about the South Sea Islands. Most of it consists of the romantic vapourings of young men, who talk only of the wonderfully beautiful women and the lotus-eating life led by the entire population; or else it consists of spiteful and scandalous stories of those people who were the kindest and most hospitable to the authors. Feeling, therefore, that the time has come to write of the islands from the point of view of people who lead an everyday existence in them, we have given a true account of our own experiences there. There is so much charm and beauty that, to our minds, there is no need to try to enhance it by regarding native girls - at whom one would not look twice if they had white skins - as creatures of celestial beauty. If there were not a native left in the islands, their charm would remain the same. It lies in the peace that envelops these lazy lands, where Nature is at her most smiling, and where she has given only of her best: she has kept her evil beasts for less fortunate climes.
