Book Description
Excerpt from The White Islander Through French, British, and early Ameri can occupation, Mackinac was the center of the fur trade. Indians and traders met here. The crescent bay swarmed with strange figures, and packs of beaver were carried from canoe to warehouse, the traffic of a con tinent and the result of a year's labor being disposed of in a few brief days. The Ameri can Fur Company had its headquarters at Mackinac, and living islanders - Dr. Bailey and James Lasley can tell much of the life it annually brought to break in one great wave upon the strip of beach. You might close your eyes when the moon is large over the summer lakes, and almost hear again the roaring song of coureurs n'a boz's around the turn of the bay.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Young Islanders: A Tale of the Last Century What became of the intruder I know not; but down went the precious bundle in a twinkle, and alighting on my boot-toe, it was projected thence, in that equally immeasurable portion of duration, called a tantz'vy! But, alas! The random records were neither stitched nor tied, and, imitating the truant subjects of their pages, they eschewed all control, and became like a flight of carrier pigeons, wheeling in the blast. I snared and bagged the fluttering covey as I could, which done, there remained to me the delightful task of arranging, numbering, and deciphering the multitudinous collection, scarcely a leaf of which was not stained, obliterated, or partly consumed, by rain, mildew, sea-water, or some such casualty of time and travel. Now, whatever I may think, it is not for me to say, that I could have written you a better tale than this, crammed full of unheard-of incidents, with half the trouble the editorship has cost me. The reader may doubt my ability in that matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wild Life Among the Pacific Islanders Tm; following narrative is compiled from rough notes of a Journal written during my wanderings in the Islands of the South Pacific. My object in publishing the work is to depict, with the simplicity of truth, scenes and events that exemplify the leading features of life among that peculiar race whose lot is cast on these coral-bound shores. A European who dwells among savage tribes is often com pelled, by the circumstances in which he is placed, to as sume a greatness, if he has it not; and the narrative of my personal adventures may seem, on this account, somewhat egotistical. If so, I must beg the reader to excuse a fault which any one writing the experiences of a life similar to mine in these islands must find, to some extent at least.

Book Description
Discover the islands of the Dream Archipelago—where reality is both illusory and magical—in this “masterful . . . endlessly compelling” literary sci-fi novel for fans of Haruki Murakami and David Mitchell (Locus). The Dream Archipelago is a vast network of islands. The names of the islands are different depending on who you talk to. Their very locations seem to twist and shift. Some islands have been sculpted into vast musical instruments, others are home to lethal creatures, others the playground for high society. Hot winds blow across the archipelago and a war fought between two distant continents is played out across its waters. Styled as an untrustworthy but enticing travel guide to the archipelago, The Islanders is a tale of murder, artistic rivalry, and literary trickery; a Chinese puzzle of a novel where nothing is quite what it seems; a narrative that pulls you in and plays an elegant game, just as its unreliable narrator does the same . . . “ . . . easily one of the richest and most rewarding novels that Priest has written to date.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

Book Description
Excerpt from An Island Cabin While the world on shore is gasping in the heat I am sitting on the porch of my island cabin, the sound of the incoming tide in my ears, the cool salt air sweeping about me. There are those so poor that they must walk through the blazing streets to their work in stores and factories. There are those rich enough to idle the summer in mountain and water-side resorts. I belong to neither of these classes, nor to any of the grades between. I am so poor in pocket that, were I in the city, I should often walk to save my nickel, and yet my days are filled with such comfort and delight as only the possessor of millions is supposed to enjoy. I am lord of an Isle. The nearest mainland is a mile away. I have not seen a policeman nor disagreed with my neighbor for a month. There are days together when the wide stretch of water between me and all laws and customs is rough enough to swamp a boat. Every stone and inch of earth, the great rocks and smooth white beach of my little kingdom are mine to do with as I will. The wind and water bring food and fuel to my borders, requiring of me only the effort of taking it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
