Renowned as the final refuge of Paul Gauguin, the Marquesas Islands northeast of Tahiti are home to the Enata, a Polynesian people who developed one of the most extraordinary traditions of sculpture and decorative art in the Pacific. This book features works, including many previously unpublished, from the Metropolitan and other museums and private collections, and it explores the fascinating ways in which Marquesan art embodied and enhanced secular and religious life.Created to honor the archipelago’s diverse gods and ancestors, adorn the bodies of its people, and decorate everyday objects, art in the Marquesas encompassed virtually every aspect of sacred and secular life. Marquesan art is celebrated for its elegant stylization of the human image and intricately decorated surfaces, while also displaying an astonishing diversity of forms that range from robust figural sculpture in wood and stone to the most elaborate tattooing in the Pacific.

With great intelligence, understanding, emotion, and a breath of gentle irony, the American archeologist Robert C. Suggs and the Swiss author Burgl Lichtenstein describe a unique cruise to the remote Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia. Using the disparate strands of scientific and historical facts, human interest stories of the Marquesans, the ship, its crew, their fellow passengers and themselves, the authors create a single absorbing narrative, just as the ancient Polynesians plaited their pu'u cord from many strands of coconut fiber. As passengers on the freighter Aranui, the authors describe all the islands of this Polynesian paradise, from north to south, from Nuku Hiva to Fatu Iva. In so doing, they do more than merely provide us with a view of the exotic beauty of the Marquesan islands and their charming inhabitants. Again and again, their suspense-filled journal gives us insights into the mysterious Marquesan culture and the long and turbulent history of the archipelago, which has been so deeply impacted by colonization. At the end of this enchanting literary voyage, readers will find that they too have fallen under the spell of the Marquesas, just as our two South Sea wanderers have.

An essential planning aid for anyone thinking of sailing to these mysterious South Pacific Islands. Travel to the small Polynesian island of Fatu-Hiva and Tahuata which are almost never visited by outsiders except by sailing boat to the capital island of Nuku-Hiva with it's ancient ruins of Polynesian villages. Then it's a downhill passage to the very dangerous Tuamotu Islands that are only a few feet above sea level and sparsely populated.

A young Heyerdahl spent 1936 with his bride, Liv, on Fatu-Hiva in the Marquesas Islands. They wanted to escape civilization & live strictly according to nature. Without medical supplies, they came within inches of losing their lives, but they also found the serenity they were seeking. They built a bamboo cabin & lived off the land, struggling against myriad diseases. They lived to tell of hazardous inter-island voyages, their idyllic month-long stay with the last surviving Polynesian cannibal, their mixed relations with the islanders, their failures & successes in an entirely natural world. Fatu-Hiva was a turning point in Heyerdahl's life. It was there that he began to pick up a trail that would lead to the Kon-Tiki expedition. Ancient stone figures, the presence of such flora as the pineapple & local legends all pointed to an early migration from South America. At the time, this theory was considered outrageous. Heyerdahl would later prove it not only possible, but likely.

"Thor Heyerdahl wrote these words when he was twenty-three years old, living in the Marquesas Islands. At the time, he intended never to return to civilization. FATU-HIVA is the record of an early-life experiment, the exciting, high-spirited adventure of a great scientist who followed in the footsteps of Gauguin in search of a Garden of Eden -- man in his primitive naturalness."
