Proa, 1930
288 pages
Fiction
A lucid and sensitive look at colonized Polynesia.
When Ocean Paradises was first published in 1930, it sold out quickly. In it, readers found elegant stories that enthusiastically portrayed the exotic world of Polynesia. But they also discovered an author who was very attentive to the effects of colonialism, the power conflicts, the role women were relegated to. A testimony of both pleasures and pain, the book has become a classic of travel literature.
