Five men survive a South Seas shipwreck and wash up on a
seemingly deserted beach, only to discover that five beautiful, winged
women inhabit the island. Dazzled and soon in love, the men will do
anything to possess these flying women . . . but what they plan, and
how the magical women respond, is tellingly—and predictably—human.
First published in 1914, and praised by Ursula K. LeGuin as “a real
rediscovery—romantic, satiric, funny, fanciful, and a good read,” Angel
Island is an adventure story and a genre-defining tale about women’s
rights.
This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the
classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer
them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so
that everyone can enjoy them.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1914 Edition.
1914. This is a fantastic tale of shipwreck. Five men, the only
survivors of a tremendous storm, find themselves on an uninhabited
island. They gather as much flotsam from the sunken ship as they
can, and with no hope of rescue, begin a new life. One night, Billy
finds himself wide awake, staring into the eyes of a woman.
Thinking it is only a dream, he falls back into sleep. As the
nights go by, the other men find themselves having the same
"dream." But, one night they see what appears to be a group of five
huge birds flying toward the island. As the birds come closer, the
men are surprised to learn the birds are really five beautiful,
winged women. These winged women never come close enough to the
ground to be captured, so the men devise a plan to catch them. Who
are these women? Do they bring joy or danger?
