Download or read book More New Tales of the South Pacific written by Graeme Kennedy and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Island hop through Oceania with veteran reporter Graeme Kennedy. Visit Samoa and American Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Niue, and Wallis & Futuna in this eagerly awaited, expanded, and newly illustrated FULL COLOUR edition of Volumes One and Two of his best-selling "New Tales of the South Pacific."This enhanced collection of beautifully written short stories is based on an intriguing cast of characters and their triumphant and tragic experiences. It has been expanded to feature a special new Tale, "The Adventurer,” in which Kennedy pays tribute to an old and dear friend, John William Fox Walton. In yet another, he takes a short look at a few bits of uniqueness on the coral island of Niue.There is another, gritty side to the Pacific Kennedy has come to know well – a side away from the five-star resorts – where the realities of life make dreams fragile. Volume 1 begins with a brief history of the Oceania region; then moves on to highlight some of the varied cultures that have made the South Pacific their home; Kennedy uses some very personal vignettes to showcase a few familiar character types. The highlight of Volume 2 is the life story of the Queen of the South Seas, the legendary Aggie Grey, who was once thought to have been Michener's model for his outrageous character, Bloody Mary. "More New Tales of the South Pacific" includes stories of black humour, despair in the happiest of Pacific Islands, and the bittersweet end of life for two persons who, like Robert Louis Stevenson, go to Samoa to die. Reminiscent of the great Louis Becke, "More New Tales of the South Pacific" is Kennedy at his best.

Download or read book South Pacific written by Jim Lovensheimer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodgers and Hammerstein's Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "South Pacific" has remained a mainstay of the American musical theater since it opened in 1949, and its powerful message about racial intolerance continues to resonate with twenty-first century audiences. Drawing on extensive research in the Rodgers and the Hammerstein papers, including Hammerstein's personal notes on James A. Michener's Tales of the South Pacific, Jim Lovensheimer offers a fascinating reading of "South Pacific" that explores the show's complex messages and demonstrates how the presentation of those messages changed throughout the creative process. Indeed, the author shows how Rodgers and especially Hammerstein continually refined and softened the theme of racial intolerance until it was more acceptable to mainstream Broadway audiences. Likewise, Lovensheimer describes the treatment of gender and colonialism in the musical, tracing how it both reflected and challenged early Cold War Era American norms. The book also offers valuable background to the writing of "South Pacific," exploring the earlier careers of both Rodgers and Hammerstein, showing how they frequently explored serious social issues in their other works, and discussing their involvement in the political movements of their day, such as Hammerstein's founding membership in the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League. Finally, the book features many wonderful appendices, including two that compare the original draft and final form of the classic songs "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair" and "I'm In Love With a Wonderful Guy." Thoroughly researched and compellingly written, this superb book offers a rich, intriguing portrait of a Broadway masterpiece and the era in which it was created.
