The author's classic style, James Michener, begins the novel with a highly detailed formation of the Hawaiian Islands with lava flows millions of years ago and ends with statehood in 1959. Where possible, the key characters are based on historical individuals who settled and transformed the once-free islands into an American state. ( ) Excellent book. Extremely detailed (starting with lava flows millions of years ago) up through nearly statehood ( 1959). Chronicles key characters based on historic individuals who settled and transformed the state. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is because it was too detailed at times and dragged a bit. 412/89-Παρόλο το μέγεθος του, είναι ένα φανταστικό βιβλίο. Περιγράφει υπέροχα την εξέλιξη της Χαβάης και παρουσιάζει υπέροχους χαρακτήρες. Τρομερή ισορροπία ανάμεσα στο καλύτερο για τη Χαβάη και στο συμφέρον των " μεγάλων " οικογενειών . Πως ένα συνονθύλευμα λαών " έφτιαξε " την υπέροχη αυτή χώρα. ... Μου άρεσε ο τρόπος που παρουσιάζει πόσο σταθεροί είναι στα έθιμα της χώρας τους, οι ερχόμενοι στη Χαβάη. Προς το τέλος αρχίζεις να χάνεις τη μπάλα με τα τόσα ονόματα , αλλά δεν επηρεάζει το πόσο υπέροχο βιβλίο είναι. My first Michener experience at the tender age of 12. I will never forget the opening scenes of Hawaii. Michener is a painter of words, I felt the explosions of the Earth as the volcanoes erupted, saw the multiplicity of the colors when the lava flowed into the sea. And that was just the first chapter! Long before social justice was trendy, Michener took on issues of religious oppression, sexual slavery, and so many more while weaving a thousand page plus plot that kept you inextricably linked to the very end. Hawaii is one of Michener's best! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
