South Sea Tales(I） 南海故事集（英文版） (English Edition)

South Sea Tales (1911) is a collection of eight good stories written by Jack London. Most short stories are set in island communities, like those of Hawaii, or are set aboard a ship, about the people and places of the south Pacific in 1908. Considered by many to be America's finest author, Jack London, had little formal schooling. His diligent habits and innate skills catapulted him far beyond most of his literary peers in both perspective and content. This book has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. These powerful stories rank among London's finest, in their trenchant look at imperialism and the exotic. London's grasp of the complicated human motivations for foreign exploration, and the often inevitable responses to local cultures which result, is unerring. The list of the stories:” The House of Mapuhi”, “The Whale Tooth”, “Mauki“, "Yah! Yah! Yah!", “The Heathen”, “The Terrible Solomons“, “The Inevitable White Man” and ”The Seed of McCoy“.
