Download or read book The Thrill of Falling written by Witi Ihimaera and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2012-07-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning collection of stories from one of New Zealand's favourite authors. What's new? * A young woman utters her favourite mantras to take on the world. * An old woman lives like a diva, re-enacting Casablanca. * In a rewrite of a play, a singer becomes a rock chick in London. * Moby Dick is reincarnated as an iceberg. * Darwin’s giant tortoises on the Galapagos Islands are re-encountered. * A young man adds a twist to his intriguing heritage. In this richly imaginative and compelling collection of longer stories, Witi Ihimaera makes a playful and delightfully unique nod to influences from the past. Ranging across an intriguing and innovative variety of styles, subjects and settings, they defy the expected to reaffirm Ihimaera as one of New Zealand’s finest technicians and storytellers.

Download or read book Pounamu Pounamu written by Witi Ihimaera and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pounamu Pounamu is classic Ihimaera and also classic New Zealand literature. First published in 1972, it was his first book, which as he says in his new introduction 'fulfilled a childhood vow: to write about Maori using his own self and home place'. The vivid stories in this collection not only explore but also celebrate what it is to be a New Zealander, and they do so from a lively Maori perspective. The seeds of Ihimaera's later works were first sown in this ground-breaking collection: The Whale Rider in his story 'The Whale'; The Rope of Man in 'Tangi'; and the character of Simeon from Bulibasha, King of the Gypsies in 'One Summer Morning'. The book also covers the themes of aroha (love), whanaungatanga (kinship) and manaakitanga (supporting each other), which are so integral to Ihimaera's work.

Book excerpt: 'As soon as he saw it, Miro Mananui knew what it was. An owl, its cryptic flaring with the dawn.' Who has the owl come for? Whose name has it cried out to Miro Mananui, the Matua of the village of Waituhi? In 'Band of Angels', mane lives and stories intersect. The passionate Mattie Jones bears a horrifying secret; Tama Mananui makes the most of an arranged marriage with a woman 20 years older; Nani Paora holds the key to the past and a history filled with bloodshed; and his grandson Pene may well be the key to the future. Pita Mahana's attempts to reinstate the past set in train events that lead to the return of the owl for its victims. Fuelled by passion, politics, psychic power and the search for truth, Band of Angels is another compelling novel from the master story teller Witi Ihimaera.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction. It is very interesting to read stories that have been handed down by former dwellers on the earth, and so learn how they thought, felt and acted, for in many instances the characters and exploits of the legendary beings they describe are connected with ancient religious beliefs and systems. The stories in this book are of Maoris, pronounced very much like Mow-rees, a race of tall, brown-skinned men, very fierce and warlike in disposition. They had no books, but they did have, and have still, a great many strange and beautiful fairy tales which the chiefs and professional story-tellers used to relate to the people in their soft and musical language, long before they had even heard of white men. As you read these stories you will see how the Maoris believed in a Fire-god, and in a dark world below this one, where people went after they died. You will notice, too, that they thought the earth was a big flat piece of land, that the sun rose above it every day and dipped below it at night, and that the stars were not merely little glittering things, but vast worlds, often far greater than their own. In the decorations for the full-page pictures in this book the artist has reproduced various objects connected with ancient Maori life. There is Tané, the God of light, a shark-toothed sword, another sword with the hilt nearly at a right angle with the blade, a feather headdress resembling a Roman helmet, a shield, a quiver, a war-club, two forms of spears, and a hat much like those worn by the Chinese. In the large initials throughout the book the textures of different Maori fabrics are shown in combination with implements and idols.

Book excerpt: Mā ori myths and legends have an important role in transmitting and regenerating traditional knowledge. Yet as Ross Calman points out in his introduction to this new edition, they are also simply great yarns--reflective of a time when telling and listening to stories was a key leisure activity in Mā ori society. Favourite Mā ori Legends is an invitation to enjoy over 30 of the most memorable legends, grouped into themes of the spirit world, patupaiarehe (ghosts), taniwha, supernatural creatures, heroes and deeds of daring. Concise yet complete, these gripping stories are enlivened by the timeless illustrations of Roger Hart.
