About this product

Product Information

"Tales of the South Pacific "is the iconic, Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece that inspired a Broadway classic and launched the career of James A. Michener, one of America s most beloved storytellers. This thrilling work invites the reader to enter the exotic world of the South Pacific and luxuriate in the endless ocean, the coconut palms, the waves breaking into spray against the reefs, the full moon rising behind the volcanoes. And yet here also are the men and women caught up in the heady drama of World War II: the young Marine who falls for a beautiful Tonkinese girl; the Navy nurse whose prejudices are challenged by a French aristocrat; and all the soldiers and sailors preparing for war against the seemingly peaceful backdrop of a tropical paradise. Praise for James A. Michener and "Tales of the South Pacific" "" Truly one of the most remarkable books to come out of World War II] . . . Michener is a born storyteller. "The New York Times" Riveting and emotional . . . Ever since James Michener wrote "Tales of the South Pacific, "the dreamers among us have been searching for our own Bali Ha i. "The Washington Post" "" Atmospheric . . . "Tales of the South Pacific" marks] the beginning of Michener s long exploration of what happens when cultures connect, or fail to. "Los Angeles Times" Few writers changed the face of American fiction as profoundly as did James Michener. "San Francisco Chronicle""

    It was absolutely "tales of the South Pacific". . . might have added during WW2

    Michner is a prolific writer of words. . . and as a result the print in a pocketbook edition is really tiny. . . it was bold which helped. I've loved his Hawaii and I sort of expected the same. . . instead it was a different look at the participants in WW2 in this theatre. . He's a fine story teller and I guess this was at least partially real and not 100% fiction. . . There were some surprises. . . and I feel certain he would not have won a pulitzer if written today. . . I was 100% happy I got to read and sent it to my son the Retired Colonel. .

    Great book - Tiny print!

    Absolutely excellent book of short stories the content of which is on a par with ALASKA, THE SOURCE, etc. However the typeset is so small I am not able to read this version. Donated it to our local library.

    An Exquisite Blend of WWII History and Entertainment

    This historical novel portrays military life in the South Pacific during WWII in a very realistic way. I don't traditionally read fiction, but Michener gives enough truth and facts from personal experience to make reading fiction interesting!
