Summary
Keola lives comfortably in Hawaii as the son-in-law of Kalamake, the most feared sorcerer on the islands, and he has long wondered where the old man gets his money. One day he finds out. Kalamake spreads a mat, burns some leaves, and the two of them step out of the house onto a white beach on an island neither of them has ever sailed to, where Keola is told to gather shells that turn into dollars.
Knowing the secret turns out to be dangerous. After a quarrel at sea that nearly kills him, Keola is rescued by a passing ship and eventually finds himself marooned on that same beach, among people who are kind to him until the moon is right. The island is deserted by day. But the sand is full of voices, and the men who speak them are invisible sorcerers from every corner of the Pacific, come to make their money, and not above eating a stranger.
First published in 1893, The Isle of Voices is one of Robert Louis Stevenson’s South Seas tales: a vivid, sinister fable of magic, greed and cannibal beaches, rooted in Polynesian folklore.
Listen to the complete, unabridged audiobook of this classic story by the author of Treasure Island.
