add to cart   close window

The article focuses on three books "Anatomy of Paradise: Hawaii and the Islands of the South Seas," by J.C. Furnas; "Hawaii: A Century of Economic Change," by Theodore Morgan and "Hawaii: A History," by Ralph S. Kuykendall and A. Grove Day. Furnas has come along with a huge book on the islands which will bring if not sudden death at least lingering euthanasia to the ancient myths if they still survive. Furnas has been studying the islands for a dozen years or so, before, during and after the war. He has taken as his guides philosophers and, friends the ethnologists who have tried to see islands and islanders plain, not romantics whose work lie scornfully dissects in a separate chapter.
