Bøger om Polynesien

Troels Kløvedal tager læseren med ud på sit livs drømmerejse i de polynesiske farvande. Togtet med Nordkaperen handler ikke kun om at sejle og dykke, men også om at gå i land i lange perioder, leve sig ind i kulturen, og med den særlige Kløvedalske åbenhed og glæde være sammen med og lære af nye mennesker og anderledes livsformer. "Troels Kløvedal kommer vidt omkring. Naturligvis løser forfatteren ikke gåden om polynesernes oprindelse, men rigtige sprællevende havfruer har han dog mødt. Det er en fascinerende bog." - Holger Ruppert, B.T.

Hans Gregersen og hans kone er taget ud på en 202 dage lang ekspedition i Oceanien. Turen starter i Darwin i Nordaustralien og fortsætter gennem det australske kontinent, til de krydser havet og fortsætter til Tasmanien, New Zealand, Tonga, Cookøerne, Påskeøen og Tahiti. Undervejs tegner de imponerende billeder af det vidunderlige dyreliv i den stort set uberørte vildmark, og parret møder spændende mennesker fra hele verden, blandt andre det svensk-franske ægtepar Bengt og Marie-Thérèse Danielsson, der gik forrest i kampen sammen med de polynesiske indfødte for at stoppe de franske atomprøvesprængninger i Sydhavet.”Øjeblikke der aldrig ophører” er en smuk og spændende rejseroman, der drager læseren ind i en så fantastisk verden, at man selv får lyst til at følge i parrets fodspor.Hans Gregersen (f. 1946) er en dansk forfatter og lærer. Han har flere gange taget orlov fra arbejdet som skolelærer i Solrød og Sæby for at researche sine bøger. Gennem tiden er det blevet til over 60 bøger om vidt forskellige emner. Hans Gregersen har både skrevet biografier, børne- og ungdomsbøger, rejsebøger samt historiebøger for børn og voksne.

Alicia Købke er 19 år. Hun er efterkommer af guldaldermaleren Christen Købke og den yngste, der nogensinde er kommet ind på filmskolen i København. Hun vælter rundt i sit eget liv og har flere partnere af vekslende køn, et par affærer plus det løse. Hun er opsætsig og grænsesøgende og har slået sig op på at gøre det helt private til kunst. Nu trækker det højpotente Hollywood i hende.Trevor er gammel nok til at kunne være far til Alicia. Han vil gerne være filminstruktør, han ved bare ikke, hvad han skal instruere. Hollywood trækker ikke i ham, men han har noget særligt kørende med øgruppen Samoa langt ude i Stillehavet. Der har han engang forsøgt at blive fri for verden. Nu vil han score Alicia og drage tilbage med sin eneste ene ved sin side. Og en dag i Hollywood er hun blevet gravid.Kan Alicia og Trevor finde sammen? Kan de finde et fælles paradis? Vil man overhovedet sætte et barn i verden, hvis denne verden er uden fremtid? Bærer selve ideen om kernefamilien en stor del af ansvaret for verdens udarmede forfatning? Og findes der andre samlivsformer og fællesskaber, der muliggør en smukkere og mere bæredygtig fortsættelse af menneskeslægten?

Da Ebbe Thomsen i 1913 fik hyre på et skib i indenrigsfart, havde han ingen anelse om, at det blev starten på et langt liv med en udenlandsk maritim karriere. Hans oplevelser ude i Stillehavet er beretningen om dæksdrengen fra Kolding, der som ung blev drevet af eventyrlyst, videbegær og ikke mindst af den kærlighed, han mødte på Samoa midt i Polynesien.Da han for første gang ankom til hovedstaden Apia, vidste han, at hans skæbne var beseglet. Det var her, han ville leve resten af sine dage.Ved første øjekast lignede det hele en naturperle i skønhed helt uden sidestykke. Det skulle dog snart vise sig, at der under overfladen lå stærke altødelæggende naturkræfter og lurede. Til søs uddannede Ebbe sig til matros, styrmand, telegrafist og navigatør. Hans ansættelse på amerikanske handelsskibe og flair for tal og handel berigede ham også med en maritim handelsuddannelse. 2. verdenskrig satte en brat stopper for en ellers lovende karriere i Polynesien. Skæbnen ville, at Ebbe ufrivilligt måtte foretage et stort karriereskift. Skiftet resulterede i, at han endte som politidirektør. Kærligheden til Polynesien og hans nye familie fjernede aldrig længslen hjem til Danmark. Savnet af hans danske familie fremgår af de mange års brevudveksling. De fleste af brevene hjem til familien blev af sikkerhedshensyn under 2. Verdenskrig gemt i et chartek. De blev først fundet i 1998 og er baggrunden for, at Ebbe Thomsens historie nu kan fortælles. Ebbe Thomsen er forfatterens grandonkel, og det var i et arvet møbel, at brevene dukkede op.

Porträt einer paradisisch anmutenden, doch vom Untergang bedrohten Inselkultur im PazifikFunafuti, eines der neun Atolle, die den Inselstaat Tuvalu bilden, ist mit kaum 2,8 Quadratkilometern ein erstaunlich kleines Stückchen Land mitten im Pazifischen Ozean. Neugierig auf die Menschen und ihre Kultur auf einer so abgelegenen Insel, reisten die Fotografin Julia de Cooker und ihre Schwester, die Schriftstellerin Émilie de Cooker, nach Tuvalu, wohl wissend um die bedrohliche Zukunft der Inselgruppe: In wenigen Jahrzehnten wird sie unter dem steigenden Meerespiegel versinken. Trotz dieser finsteren Aussichten konzentrierten sie sich darauf, die Lebensfreude des Inselalltags zu zeigen, was zu Fragen nach ihrer eigenen Art zu leben und einen Platz in der Welt zu beanspruchen führte. Das so enstandene Buch ist ein künstlerisches und philosophisches Porträt von "Funafuti i aso nei (heute)" sowie ein Plädoyer gegen globale Standardisierung und für lebendige Diversität.
