Description
Beautiful edition offering fresh stories and new cultures to a world saturated with Norse, Greek and Celtic mythology.The vast cultural area of Polynesia covers Easter Island, Hawaii, New Zealand and the many isles in between. The stories and legends of the region are based on the creation of land, fish, sea, valleys and the volcanic outcrops scattered across the long stretches of the Pacific.The traditional stories of the diverse peoples of Polynesia are brought together in this new collection: from Hawaii the Rainbow Maiden of Manoa undulates through the valleys and rainbow mists; the great hero Maui releases his fish hooks into the sea to raise islands to the surface; and Pele the Fire Goddess, who hurls fountains of molten rock into the air, creating vast flows of lava. From the Māori of New Zealand come the tales of Tiki and the Great Mother, from whom the gods descend, followed by humankind. Other stories feature Maui creating the ancestors, and Hina the moon goddess. In striving to explain the beauty and darkness of their lush ocean worlds, the ancient Polynesians have passed down a wealth of treasured stories which are cornerstones to the vibrant cultures and identities of living Polynesians today. A selection of these stories are now offered in this new anthology.Flame Tree Collector''s Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths and tales, without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works of myth and history into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and a Glossary of Terms.
