About this listen
A young English trader named Wiltshire arrives on a remote island in the South Seas to run a copra station. Within a day the other white man on the beach, the genial, long-established Case, has arranged a marriage for him with a local girl, complete with a mock certificate written in English that she cannot read.
Wiltshire thinks it a good joke until he discovers that his new wife is under a taboo, that no islander will trade with him because of her, and that the whole arrangement was designed to ruin him. Behind it lies Case’s power over the island: a reputation for devilry, a grove in the forest that no native dares enter, and a trail of white men who died or disappeared before him.
First published in 1892, The Beach of Falesá is one of Robert Louis Stevenson’s finest late works and a landmark of South Seas fiction: an unflinching tale of colonial exploitation, superstition and violence, written with a frankness that shocked its Victorian publishers into censoring it.
Listen to the complete, unabridged audiobook of this classic novella by the author of Treasure Island.
