Hawaii by James A. Michener An alternate cover edition for
this ISBN can be found here. Pulitzer Prize–winning author
James A. Michener brings Hawaii’s epic history vividly to
life in a classic saga that has captivated readers since
its initial publication in 1959. As the volcanic Hawaiian
Islands sprout from the ocean floor the land remains
untouched for centuries—until little more than a thousand
years ago Polynesian seafarers make the perilous journey
across the Pacific flourishing in this tropical paradise
according to their ancient traditions. Then in the early
nineteenth century American missionaries arrive bringing
with them a new creed and a new way of life. Based on
exhaustive research and told in Michener’s immersive prose
Hawaii is the story of disparate peoples struggling to
keep their identity live in harmony and ultimately join
together.
