Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pele and Hiiaka: A Myth From Hawaii The story of Pele and her sister Hiiaka stands at the fountain-head of Hawaiian myth and is the matrix from which the unwritten literature of Hawaii drew its life-blood. The material for the elaboration of this story has, in part, been found in serial contributions to the Hawaiian newspapers during the last few decades; in part, gathered by interviews with the men and women of the older regime, in whose memory it has been stored and, again, in part, it has been supplied by papers solicited from intelligent Hawaiians. The information contained in the notes has been extracted by viva voce appeal to Hawaiians themselves. These last two sources of information will soon be no longer available. Merely as a story, this myth of Pele and her kindred may be deemed to have no compelling merit that should attract one to its reading. The cycle of world-myth already gathered from the rising to the setting of the sun, from the north pole to the south pole, is quite vast enough, and far in excess of the power of any one scholar to master and digest. It contains enough pretty stories, in all conscience, to satisfy the demands of the whole raft of storiologists and penny-a-liners, ever on the alert to cram the public with new sensations, without making it necessary to levy upon Hawaii for her little contribution. It is not from a disposition to pander to any such appetite that the writer has drudged through many long years in collecting and giving literary shape to the material herein presented. The people who settled the Hawaiian group of islands are recognized as having occupied a unique station, one so far removed from the center and vortex of Polynesian activity as to enable them to cast a highly important side-light on many of the problems yet unsolved, that are of interest to ethnologists and philologists and that still enshroud the Polynesian race. Hawaii rejoiced in a Kamehameha, who, with a strong hand, welded its discordant political elements into one body and made of it a nation. But it was denied a Homer capable of voicing its greatest epic in one song. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pele and Hiiaka: A Myth From Hawaii (1915) is a collection of folktales and legends by Nathaniel B. Emerson. Originally serialized in Hawaiian newspapers, Emerson's work is the result of decades of research into the goddesses Pele and Hiiaka. Translating written histories, interviewing native Hawaiians, and consulting his own knowledge, Emerson provides an entertaining and authoritative look at one of Hawaii's most cherished origin myths. "The story of Pele and her sister Hiiaka stands at the fountain-head of Hawaiian myth and is the matrix from which the unwritten literature of Hawaii drew its life-blood. [...] Hawaii rejoiced in a Kamehameha, who, with a strong hand, welded its discordant political elements into one body and made of it a nation. But it was denied a Homer capable of voicing its greatest epic in one song." As an American born in Hawaii who played a major role in the annexation of the islands as an author of the 1887 Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Emerson likely saw himself as a unifying figure capable of interpreting for an English-speaking audience the ancient and ultimately formative story of Pele, goddess of volcanoes and ruler of Kilauea. Despite his complicated role in the history of Hawaii, Emerson offers an entertaining and lyrical vision of Pele and her sister Hiiaka, whose generative and destructive powers inform so much of Hawaiian religion and culture to this day. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Nathaniel B. Emerson's Pele and Hiiaka: A Myth From Hawaii is a classic of Hawaiian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Book Synopsis Pele and Hiiaka by : Nathaniel Bright Emerson
Download or read book Pele and Hiiaka written by Nathaniel Bright Emerson and published by . This book was released on 1915 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most pivotal myths of Hawaii, the tales of the deity Pele and her sister Hiiaka form a poetic saga of folklore that is compelling to read. Pele is the Hawaiian Goddess of volcanoes and fire, while Hi'iaka is her youngest sibling. The two possess a rivalry, and their adventures together and separately form the basis of the myths in this book. Much of the story is narrated through poems and songs; the ancient chants and hulas uniquely incorporate the emotional bonds and developments of the plot. The depiction of nature and the elements are evocative; lava flows and water heaves, creating beautiful contrasts and images in the tropical island setting. Nathaniel Bright Emerson was a doctor and author who was born in Waialua on Oahu in 1839. He was educated and spent his early career in the USA, but in 1878 relocated back to Hawaii. He was immensely interested in Hawaiian folklore, spending years researching and compiling the stories passed down in the oral tradition. Late in life he published examples of as-yet unwritten folk tales and legends, before finally turning to Pele and Hiiaka. This edition includes a handful of illustrations, that readers may envisage the lively and supernatural events.

Download or read book Pele and Hiiaka written by Dietrich Varez and published by Petroglyph PressLtd. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great epics of Hawaiian mythology is the story of Pele, goddess of Hawai'i's volcanoes, and her youngest sister, Hi'iakaikapoliopele. Pele was driven out of her homeland after a quarrel with her older sister Namakaokaha'i, a sea goddess. She readied her great double-hulled voyaging canoe and left Kahiki, sailing to Hawai'i. She was accompanied by a number of relatives, including her youngest sister, Hi'iaka, the heroine of our story. None of the islands seemed to suit Pele until she reached Hawai'i, the largest island. In the upland region, Pele settled into the fiery lava pit of Kilauea, and our story begins there. While in a dream state, Pele followed the sounds of hula pahu drums and traveled to Kaua'i, meeting the handsome young chief, Lohi'au. Pele asked her youngest sister, Hi'iaka, to undertake a journey to fetch her new lover. Hi'iaka, with her companions, encountered many adventures on her journey; battling reptilian mo¿o, healing people in need, making new friends and traveling throughout the islands. This is a passionate story of love, healing, betrayal, and reconciliation, culminating in the reunion of parted lovers, lavishly illustrated by one of Hawai'i¿s most celebrated artists, Dietrich Varez.
