‎THE BEACH OF FALESA. Introduction by J.C. Furnas. Illustrated with paintings by Millard Sheets.‎

‎Printed by the Ward Ritchie Press Los Angeles for the members of the Limited Editions Club New York: 1956. 1956 pp. xvii 113 1. Small folio. Designed printed and bound by Ward Ritchie. Set in Intertype Waverly; on Linweave Paper deckle edged. Bound in paper boards decorated by the artist backed in brown cloth. Slipcase covered in rice paper slightly soiled. Number 769 of an edition limited to only 1500 copies signed by the artist. A fine example. From Wiki: The story is told in the first person by John Wiltshire a British copra trader on the fictional South Sea island of Fales�. Upon arriving on the island he meets a rival trader named Case who in an apparently friendly gesture arranges for him to be "married" to a local girl named Uma in a ceremony designed to impress the natives but to be completely non-binding in the view of Europeans. Wiltshire soon discovers that Uma has a taboo attached to her which causes all the other natives to refuse to do business with him to Case's profit. He also hears rumors of Case having been involved in the suspicious deaths of his previous competitors. Although realising that he has been tricked Wiltshire has genuinely fallen in love with Uma and has their marriage legalised by a passing missionary. Wiltshire gradually learns that Case's influence over the villagers stems from their belief that he has demonic powers as a result of his simple conjuring tricks as well as strange noises and visions they have experienced at a "temple" he has built in the forest. Upon investigating Wiltshire finds that these experiences are also tricks produced by imported technologies such as luminous paint and Aeolian harps. Wiltshire sets out that night to destroy the temple with gunpowder. Case confronts him and the two men fight resulting in Case's death. The story concludes with Wiltshire several years later living on another island still happily married to Uma worrying about what will happen to his mixed-race children. Stevenson saw "The Beach of Fales�" as the ground-breaking work in his turn away from romanticism to realism. Stevenson wrote to his friend Sidney Colvin: 'It is the first realistic South Seas story; I mean with real South Sea character and details of life. Everybody else that has tried that I have seen got carried away by the romance and ended in a kind of sugar candy sham epic and the whole effect was lost - there was not etching no human grin consequently no conviction. Now I have got the smell and look of the thing a good deal. You will know more about the South Seas after you have read my little tale than if you had read a library.' In an unusual change for Stevenson but in-line with realism the plot of the story is less important rather the realistic portrayal of the manners of various social classes in island society is foregrounded; it is essentially a novel of manners. As Stevenson says to Colvin in a letter "The Beach of Fales�" is "well fed with facts" and "true to the manners' of the society it depicts." Other than the island itself which is fictional it contains the names of real people real ships and real buildings which Stevenson was familiar with from his personal travels in the South Seas.
