The Beach of Falesa is a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson that tells the story of a young man named Wiltshire who travels to the South Pacific island of Falesa in search of a business opportunity. He quickly becomes enamored with the island and its people, particularly a beautiful young woman named Uma. However, he soon discovers that the island is controlled by a powerful and ruthless trader named Case, who will stop at nothing to maintain his grip on the island's economy. As Wiltshire becomes more involved in the island's affairs, he finds himself caught between his love for Uma and his desire to do what is right for the people of Falesa. The novel is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and colonialism, and is widely regarded as one of Stevenson's most compelling works.But the thing that troubled me was nearer hand. Some dozen young men and children made a piece of a half-circle, flanking my house: the river divided them, some were on the near side, some on the far, and one on a boulder in the midst; and they all sat silent, wrapped in their sheets, and stared at me and my house as straight as pointer dogs. I thought it strange as I went out. When I had bathed and come back again, and found them all there, and two or three more along with them, I thought it stranger still. What could they see to gaze at in my house, I wondered, and went in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
