Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Beach of Falesá

Now, it is nearer dawn, and the moon, still bright, lowering towards the glassy, quivering west em rim of the South Sea. To the east, the great sky about-to - dawn is cloudless. And out of dark ness, into dying moonlight, into rising dawn, the boat glides again.

A bird circles above it and wheels, crying sad and high, then flies away.

The boat is a fore-and - aft schooner, of about a hundred tons. Two dark figures stand on the little deck, looking out into the neither night nor morn ing. The tall, broad, bareheaded figure, Wiltshire, his hair tossed in the wind, stands still, upright, tense and quiet. The short figure, the Captain, at the wheel, raises an arm to point.
