Stoddard went to the Pacific and never entirely came back. These are his Polynesian sketches from the 1860s and 70s: the villages, the reefs, the missionaries, the light, the long indolent days, and a young American working out that the world contains other ways to live. Loose, lyrical, and admired by Twain and Stevenson, both of whom knew good prose when it drifted past.
