This novel is marked by its lyrical prose, rich imagery, and a profound exploration of the human condition, set in a fictive South Sea island that serves as both a literal and metaphorical garden of Eden. Stacpoole's work engages with the literary tradition of romanticism, while also reflecting the author's fascination with nature and human introspection, inviting readers to ponder the delicate balance between earthly desires and spiritual yearnings. Henry De Vere Stacpoole, an Irish-born author and nurse, drew heavily from his own experiences during his travels throughout the South Seas. His therapeutic background imbued his writing with a deep empathy for the human experience and an acute awareness of life's fragility. Stacpoole lived during a period of burgeoning interest in exotic locales, and his X-ray vision of the secrets beneath their beauty provides a compelling commentary on the human soul's eternal search for purpose. The Garden of God is recommended for readers who appreciate poetic introspection and existential musings interwoven with vivid, sensory descriptions. This novel will resonate with anyone who seeks to understand the duality of human existence and the potential for grace amid chaos, making it a timeless journey worth embarking upon.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49577171943697,"sku":"GOR013527170","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51284531937553,"sku":"NIN9788027343171","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53349848088849,"sku":"NLS9788027343171","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8027343178.jpg?v=1750731220"},{"product_id":"rapin-classic-reprint-book-henry-de-vere-stacpoole-9780267003310","title":"The Rapin (Classic Reprint)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49601515028753,"sku":"GOR013496411","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0267003315.jpg?v=1750877031"},{"product_id":"blue-lagoon-book-henry-de-vere-stacpoole-9781513283777","title":"The Blue Lagoon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Blue Lagoon\u003c\/i\u003e (1908) is a novel by Henry De Vere Stacpoole.

Accompanied only by an old Irish sailor, Dick and Em must learn to adapt and survive in their new home.

As Professor Gavin notes in her introduction, Stacpoole's tale of escape from the pressures of modern life and return to a simple life close to nature has lost none of its appeal in the century since its publication; in fact, it may be more relevant today than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51078844383505,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51078846546193,"sku":"NIN9781438504230","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1438504233.jpg?v=1750987503"},{"product_id":"blue-lagoon-book-henry-de-vere-stacpoole-9781015530379","title":"The Blue Lagoon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Although he is more widely known for his novel The Blue Lagoon (1908), which inspired the 1980 hit drama starring Brooke Shields, Stacpoole was a prolific bestselling author whose dozens of literary works continue to inspire and entertain a century after they first appeared in print. “With no financial foundation, Victor and a Philadelphia gentleman had competed for a contract to supply the British Government with Harveyised steel struts, bolts, and girders; he had come over to London to press the business; he had interviewed men in brass hats, slow moving men who had turned him over to slower moving men. […] [T]his morning their tender had been rejected.” In this thrilling tale of mistaken identity, Stacpoole moves away from his favorite setting of the South Pacific to the frenzied streets and barrooms of London’s financial district. There, a desperate businessman learns that his proposal to secure a lucrative contract has been denied. With no money and a slew of creditors to appease, Victor Jones heads for the hotel bar to drown his sorrows. In his bleakest moment, he meets his doppelganger, an Englishman named Mr. Rochester. After a night of hard drinking, Jones awakens in a strange bedroom surrounded by the finest furniture money can buy. Before he can gather his senses, a servant enters with the paper and greets him as the Earl of Rochester. What he learns next will change his life forever. The Man Who Lost Himself was adapted into a 1920 silent film as well as a 1941 Hollywood feature starring Brian Aherne and Kay Francis. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry De Vere Stacpoole’s The Man Who Lost Himself is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52404040990993,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52404041482513,"sku":"NLS9781513136684","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781513136684.jpg?v=1758794065"},{"product_id":"beach-of-dreams-book-henry-de-vere-stacpoole-9781513136660","title":"The Beach of Dreams","description":"Henry De Vere Stacpoole (1863-1951) was a Victorian period author, born in Kingstown, Ireland.

[…] [B]eyond and around from sky-line to sky-line the blue Pacific lay desolate beneath the day. ‘They are dead.’ He was gazing at the forms on the dinghy, the form of a girl with a child embraced in one arm, and a youth. Clasping one another, they seemed asleep.” Aboard the whaling vessel Raratonga, Arthur Lestrange discovers his long-lost son and niece after years of searching. As they pull up alongside their fishing boat, however, he realizes they are too late—the shipwrecked youths have succumbed to the elements. Between them, a child lies asleep, offering some hope to the devastated father and crew. Visited by Dick and Emmeline in a dream, Arthur endeavors to return to Palm Tree, the island where they raised their son in peace. There, the boy is brought up by his grandfather and a crewmember named Jim Kearney, who keep him safe and teach him the ways of survival.

A total of five films have been adapted from the novel, including the hit 1980 drama of the same name starring Brooke Shields. “The Pacific slept; a vast, vague swell flowing from far away down south under the night, lifted the Northumberland on its undulations to the rattling sound of the reef points and the occasional creak of the rudder; whilst overhead, near the fiery arch of the Milky Way, hung the Southern Cross like a broken kite.” When a terrible shipwreck leaves them stranded on a deserted island in the South Pacific, Dick and Emmeline Lestrange are merely children. Paddy Button, the ship’s cook and the only other survivor, takes it upon himself to train them in the ways of survival, teaching the arts of fishing and pearl diving to ensure the youths know how to take full advantage of a hostile environment. When Paddy dies from alcoholism, Dick and Emmeline are more than prepared to fend for themselves, but as they grow into young adulthood, a strange sense of desire starts to take hold.
