The adventurous narrative of a youngster in the far north, on the other hand, became his favorite and one of his most often picks. Stables presents a comprehensive vision of the north, presenting a vivid and realistic description of life and work in the Arctic, as well as its people, natural history, and natural marvels, based on his actual experience in the Arctic. Survival in the harsh Arctic climate promotes a muscular approach to manhood and maturity in the young hero Stables, who becomes a great role model for his young audience. William Gordon Stables MD, CM. RN (1840-1910) was a Scottish-born Royal Navy medical doctor and prolific author of adventure fiction, mainly for boys. He wrote about 130 novels. His writings span a wide range of topics, all corners of the world, and give thrilling adventure stories that are frequently mixed with moral teaching and imperialistic connotations.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This innovative collection of essays explores the ways in which islands have been used, imagined and theorised, both by island dwellers and continentals. This study considers how island dwellers conceived of themselves and their relation to proximate mainlands, and examines the fascination that islands have long held in the European imagination. The collection addresses the significance of islands in the Atlantic economy of the eighteenth century, the exploration of the Pacific, the important role played by islands in the process of decolonisation, and island-oriented developments in postcolonial writing. Islands were often seen as natural colonies or settings for ideal communities but they were also used as dumping grounds for the unwanted, a practice which has continued into the twentieth century. The collection argues the need for an island-based theory within postcolonial studies and suggests how this might be constructed. Covering a historical span from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, the contributors include literary and postcolonial critics, historians and geographers.
