On the Makaloa Mat
Stories of Love, Loss, and Old Hawaii
Sinopsis
Beneath the palms of a fading Hawaiian aristocracy, an old woman remembers the great love and greater heartbreak of her youth -- and thats just the first of eight stories in Jack Londons final, most tender collection.
On the Makaloa Mat gathers Londons late-career short fiction set among the islands he loved best: tales of interracial romance, colonial change, leprosy and exile, and the slow disappearance of a Hawaii that once was. Gone is the brute survivalism of his Yukon stories -- in its place, a quieter, more reflective London, writing with real affection for the people and places of the Pacific.
Long overshadowed by his adventure novels, this collection reveals a writer at the height of his emotional and technical powers.
Eight short stories set in early 20th-century Hawaii Londons most mature, character-driven writing A vivid, compassionate portrait of a vanishing worldUnroll the mat and listen -- the old stories are the best ones.
