Setting his  imaginative writings within the social and political contexts of his  letters and essays from the South Seas, reveals the deepening and  broadening of Stevenson's genius and his growing awareness of and anger  at white exploitation. It was a society in which his love of adventure,  his awareness of the extremes of human nature, and his fascination with  good and evil, could find full release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTales of the South Seas\u003c\/i\u003e  gathers together all of Stevenson's South Sea fiction and a selection  of prose and letters provides not only a vivid portrait of a colourful  and exotic world, but also a full and rounded picture of a superb writer  at the height of his powers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Louis Stevenson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281388450043,"sku":"9780862416430","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780862416430_c1e98e10-8548-4481-b7d8-7055166df54a.jpg?v=1772483241","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/tales-of-the-south-seas-9780862416430","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
