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.

"Maurois is wonderfully witty about the physical debilitation that results from having one's substance fed upon for the sake of illusory art."—Wall Street Journal"A Voyage to the Island of the Articoles has been nicely translated by Charlotte de Koch.... a curious little work, part adventure narrative, part cod anthropology...with a little love story thrown in...the book has the easy elegance one associates with Maurois."—Times Literary Supplement
