Originally written in 1928, A Voyage to the Island of the Arcticoles is a wildly imaginative work from the French biographer, novelist, essayist Andre Maurois. Somewhere between Hawaii and Tahiti, en route to the Marquesas, a couple find their ship blown off course by a storm. They land in the harbour of the privately-owned island of the Articoles, where society is highly ordered and the only people who are really looked up to are the literary descendents of the original literary settlers. A fantastical novella which is a sly critique of the snobbisms of writing communities.
