| Summary | "Magic" by H. De Vere Stacpoole is a novel that explores themes of love, friendship, and rivalry set in a South Sea island environment, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around two close friends, Tauti and Uliami, who experience a profound shift in their bond due to love's complexities. The book likely delves into how relationships can be tested by emotions and circumstances, especially when a romantic interest becomes a catalyst for conflict. The story unfolds with Tauti and Uliami, who have always shared a deep brotherly bond, facing turbulence when Tauti falls in love with Kinei, a young girl. Uliami, unbeknownst to Tauti, also harbors feelings for Kinei, leading to jealousy and betrayal when the marriage occurs. After discovering Kinei's unfaithfulness, the once strong friendship disintegrates into a deadly feud between the two. Their conflict is cunningly manipulated by Sikra, Kinei's father, leading both men to join separate ships with the intention of killing one another. However, their fates become intertwined once more when they encounter each other in a city far from their home. The narrative concludes with Tauti's tragic death from fever, emphasizing the consequences of love and ambition amid a backdrop of ill-fated choices and the relentless passage of time.
