Jonas put Marianna's life to the severest test. An American sailor of mysterious past, his part in the life that rushed forward past Point Venus brought Marianna to tragedy, to love, and finally to a sure hold on life's goodness.Just as in the stories of Somerset Maugham, you will meet here a group of fascinating people -- the native Queen Pomare, full of pride and courage; the beautiful Lily, a planter's wife; the young officers from the French ship; old Doctor Ferguson; and others. And as in the landscapes of the famous painters who were enchanted by its beauty, you will feel the sunshine, the charm, the tropical sweetness of Tahiti.

They specialised in military fiction and ghost stories in a rustic mode, applying to the Vosges mountain range and the Alsace-Lorraine region techniques inspired by story-tellers from the Black Forest. Lifelong friends who first met in the spring of 1847, they finally quarreled during the mid-1880s, after which they did not produce any more stories jointly. During 1890 Chatrian died, and Erckmann wrote a few pieces under his own name. Many of Erckmann-Chatrian's works were translated into English by Adrian Ross.
