Scattered across the world’s largest and deepest ocean, the remote and beautiful South Pacific Islands have been enticing explorers, travelers, and settlers to their shores for more than six thousand years.
In twelve lively essays, South Pacific charts the history of this vibrant region, from the intrepid Polynesians who relied on constellations and stick charts to navigate its isolated archipelagos, to the stranded mutineers of HMS Bounty who inadvertently started a new colony there; from ‘back to nature’ seekers like Alexander Selkirk, the real-life inspiration for Robinson Crusoe, to escapists like the troubled French artist Paul Gauguin; from the riddles of the ancient Easter Island statues, to the seafaring experiment of Thor Heyerdahl’s 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition.
Distilled and retold by an expert in Polynesian culture and history, these South Pacific stories highlight the characters and events that have shaped this part of the world, bringing their legacies to life for the modern-day traveler.
