the Sun is a book about experiences in the strange and lonely islands

dancers at Tahiti, *A village maid in Tahiti, *A Samoan maiden of high
caste, *Le Brunnee, hie wife and friend, *Packing Copra, *Te Ipu, an old

| Frederick O'Brien,
in his introduction to Atolls of the Sun in 1919, wrote: "It is
for those who stay at home yet dream of foreign places that I have written
this book, . . . In its pages there is little of profound research, . .
.such expectation was far from my thoughts when I sailed from Papeite on
the Morning Star. I went to see what I should see, and to learn whatever
should be taught me by the days as they came . . ." He was a journalist
with a successful but checkered career, O'Brien was in his mid-forties
when he made the original trip to the South Seas just before the start
of World War II. He was likely surprised when White Shadows
became a best-seller in 1919, and doubly surprised when the book was sought
by MGM to become possibly the first non-fiction book to be adapted to a
feature film (starring Monte Blue and Raquel Torres).
O'Brien went on to write
two more South Sea books, Mystic Isles of the South Seas and Atolls
of the Sun. Although these were well received, and equal in literary
quality, they never achieved the popularity of White Shadows which
sparked a 20s and 30s wave of interest in the South Sea islands as a travel
destination or a place to escape from the "civilized" world.

Summary:
While trying to sell a mechanical contrivance that peels potatoes, opens cans, pulls nails, etc., young Lambert stumbles on a band of cowboys at supper on a cattle ranch. He quickly wins their admiration by his valorous feats and becomes one of their leaders, revealing himself as an expert horseman. He obtains a job as aide and protector of Vesta Philbrook, who is trying to manage a ranch despite the constant raids of cattle rustlers. "The Duke," however, launches a campaign against the cattle thieves, and in a series of hair-raising adventures, with the aid of his friend Taters, he breaks up the gang and kills the leaders, headed by Kerr, then captures the love of Vesta. |
