South Sea Tales

Eight tropical tales set in different regions of the South Pacific by the renowned nineteenth-century author of The Call of the Wild and White Fang.   These stories, like his renowned Klondike Tales, are based on Jack London's own travels and adventures. Including such stories as "The House of Mapuhi," "The Whale Tooth," and "The Inevitable White Man," this collection describes the beauties and dangers of the South Pacific as colonist ships explore the islands.   "All in all, if you like nautical and sea adventures, if you are interested in the history of the Pacific Islands, or if you want to read gripping tales set in the exotic lands, this book will be perfect for you. But remember—it is definitely not a piece of light-hearted literature!" —Tales from Pasifika
