My Tahiti - Robert Dean Frisbie - Bog

In this classic Robert Dean Frisbie describes the idyllic Tahitian life that Paul Gauguin painted so memorably. He writes: "During twelve years of wandering among the atolls of the South Seas I have attempted, at odd moments, to re-create from memory fragmentary passages from my life in a Tahitian village. These sketches and incidents are an attempt to recapture something of the spirit of native Tahitian life as I knew it during the first three years of the nineteen-twenties. It has been a pleasant task--redeeming from oblivion the last of a Golden Age."
