nové vydání klasické anglické četby The
literary world was shocked when in 1889, at the height of his career,
Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle permanently on
the Pacific island of Samoa. His readers were equally shocked when he
began to use the subject material offered by his new environment, not
to promote a romance of empire, but to produce some of the most ironic
and critical treatments of imperialism in nineteenth-century fiction.
In these stories, as in his work generally, Stevenson shows himself to
be a virtuoso of narrative styles: his Pacific fiction includes the
domestic realism
of `The Beach at Falesé, the folktale plots of `The Bottle Imp' and
`The Isle of Voices', and the modernist blending of naturalism and
symbolism in The Ebb-Tide.
But beyond their generic diversity the stories are linked by their
concern with representing the multiracial society of which their author
had become a member. In this collection - the first to bring together
all his shorter Pacific fiction in one volume - Stevenson emerges as a
witness both to the cross- cultural encounters of nineteenth-century
imperialism and to the creation of the global culture which
characterizes the post-colonial world.
