Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Isles of the Pacific: Or, Sketches From the South Seas Such have been'the day-dreams of the poet in many lands. Childhood, full of unconscious poetry, revels in stories of distant island homes, island mysteries, island researches. Nothing In the Arabian Nights' attracts its eager fancy more than the story of Sindbad the Sailor, with his strange experiences of wonder-teeming isles. Robinson Crusoe will be a fearful joy to the young while the English language lasts. Sir Edward Seward's Narrative, Penrose's Journal, a delightful book, now, alas-l out of print, and Masterman Ready, all recognised and ministered to this youthful passion for island adventures, and all were popular accordingly. The present volume is an attempt to convey to young readers a fair notion of the isles of the Pacific Ocean, of their principal clusters, and of the features which distinguish several of the most remarkable among them. They differ from each other so widely in climate, natural features, social and political condition, that even a few sketches, if tolerably faithful, will at least have the advantage of variety; while they may also serve to clear up a certain amount of confusion as to groups and races which exists, I believe, in young minds generally, and is not rare among children of a larger growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Isles of the Pacific: Or, Sketches From the South Seas There is something in the thought of distant islands which has always had strong attractions for the human mind. From the earliest ages they have figured in the visions of bards as favoured regions of bliss and beauty. In the prophetic utterances of the Hebrew seers the kings of the isles are described as laying their treasures at the feet of the promised Messiah - the multitude of the isles as rejoicing in Jehovah's sovereignty. When we look to the early records of Greece, we not only find her "isles" the actual cradle of law and poesy, we see also that the Greek poets sang of islands yet brighter and lovelier, to which they looked westward through a haze of mysterious legends, as scenes of nature's most lavish bounty: "Summer isles of Eden, lying in dark purple spheres of sea." When Homer, in his wild and wondrous "Odyssey," told of "the ever-blooming gardens of Aleinous," and the glories of joyous Phæacia, he had doubtless in view not only the rich vegetation and genial clime of Corfu, as described by travellers, but fancy pictures of happy isles beyond the pillars of Hercules, where the Hesperian fruit might be plucked without fear of the "red-combed dragon" barring the entrance to that western paradise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pearls of the Pacific: Being Sketches of Missionary Life and Work in Samoa and Other Islands in the South Seas If you will take your atlas and look at the map of the world (or, if there is a globe at school, that will do better still), you will see to the north of New Zealand a lot of dots, almost as if baby had been trying to write. Those dots represent islands, and amongst those islands you will see the words Samoa, or Navigators' Islands. And if you will look at the Map of Samoa in this book you will see that the four largest islands are called savaii, upolu, tutuila and manua. Aren't they curious names? I think next time you see a missionary from Samoa you had better ask him how to pronounce them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Pacific Arts of Polynesia and Micronesia by : Adrienne L. Kaeppler
Download or read book The Pacific Arts of Polynesia and Micronesia written by Adrienne L. Kaeppler and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than one hundred illustrations--most in full color--this volume offers a stimulating and insightful account of two dynamic artistic cultures, traditions that have had a considerable impact on modern western art through the influence of artists such as Gauguin. After an introduction to Polynesian and Micronesian art separately, the book focuses on the artistic types, styles, and concepts shared by the two island groups, thereby placing each in its wider cultural context. From the textiles of Tonga to the canoes of Tahiti, Adrienne Kaeppler sheds light on religious and sacred rituals and objects, carving, architecture, tattooing, and much more.
