Vikings of the Sunrise ranks as a masterpiece of Pacific studies. From the pen of one of the greatest Māori thinkers and writers of his generation, the settlement of the Pacific Ocean comes to life.
The book ranges across the Pacific Ocean and the people who populated it, considering their physical and spiritual origins, and the ships they built to conquer this vast territory. It weighs evidence for different routes, retells myths of migration including the Māui series, recounts the author's visits to islands and atolls across the South Pacific, and overall establishes the 'vikings' of the Pacific among the greatest-ever ocean voyagers. First published in 1938, Vikings of the Sunrise is here reproduced in an enhanced facsimile edition, including photos and maps compiled by the author on his voyages, and a new foreword by anthropologist Paora (Paul) Tapsell. Oratia Books is pleased to bring Vikings of the Sunrise back into print for modern readers as part of our NZ Classics series.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Oratia BooksISBN-13:9781990042492ISBN-10:199004249XUPC:9781990042492Book Category:History, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:Oceania, Anthropology, Cultural & Ethnic StudiesBook Topic:Cultural & Social, Australian & Oceanian StudiesSize:8.25 x 5.50 x 0.81 inchesWeight:0.44Product ID:SC6T60QK6Z
