The collection includes the stories “The Feathers of the Sun,” “The Man with the Scar,” and “Aloha Oe.” These are thrilling tales of gold seekers’ adventures, of distant islands of Oceania, and of first love born under the scorching sun of Hawaii.
“Tui Tuli-fau was a merry king, a great lover of eating and drinking. His subjects had the same cheerful and harmless disposition, which didn’t stop them, sometimes, from getting out of sorts and even throwing dead pigs at the one who had drawn their anger. For all their peacefulness, they were able to fight no worse than the Maoris—something the bandit traders who dealt in sandalwood and people had been convinced of more than once in the past.”
