A sequel of sorts to Tales of the South Pacifc, Return to Paradise takes a different formal track than that of the earlier volume. Here, in a collection of independent short stories, Michener precedes each tale with an essay that ranges in subject matter from geo-political argument to virtual travel brochure. The result is an overall effort that does not equal that of Tales of the South Pacific but whose individual stories sometimes rise above anything he has written before.Most of the essays are not only readable but provide essential background information for the fictional short stories. All but two, that is. The essays on New Zealand and Australia are unbearable abominations. Yet the stories that follow, which rely upon those essays for their crispness and assumptions, are two of the best in the book, especially "Until They Sail," the story of four New Zealand sisters who strike up romances with American troops during World War II.Still, it is the stories of the tropical South Pacific I most like. The stories about Tahiti and Polynesia, the Marquesas, Guadalcanal, the Solomons, Fiji. "Povenaaa's Daughter" and "The Mynah Birds" will last with me for quite some time. One final note worth remarking, each and every story ends with a sharp, shocking twist. You quickly come to expect them, and, for that reason, they lose their punch, although never their shock.These two works of Michener, Tales of the South Pacific and Return to Paradise, for me, are his best works. They show the writer at his freshest, before he became a living corporation for producing bestsellers (not that the later works do not have merit--Michener was a master storyteller at every stage of his career). But it is the stories of the South Seas and America's presence in the Pacific during and right after World War II that I most appreciate. Readers will always be able to revisit the books and stories on the South Pacific and get something new out of them. I'm not sure the same can be said for the enormous epics that followed.
James Michener, author of tales of the South Pacific, once again returns to the islands in the Pacific open parens this time with his wife goes parens and they spend a year in the late 1940s revisiting many of the Island's you visited in Tales of the South Pacific.Each chapter is about a different Island. Each chapter begins with all the details mr. Michener knows about the island. Then he follows that narration with a fictional short story using fictional characters living on the island. But, the book is not just a series of short stories, it does include a wealth of information and history about each island and how the islands have developed different characters who live there.You may not like all of the fictional characters in the book, or their philosophies, but, you should enjoy the book, as I did.David Kamins
I enjoyed the book because my father was in Guadalcanal and several other of these islands during the war when I was a baby. This gave me a chance to see how horrible the experience must have been for the men who gave their lives for our freedom and that of Australia and New Zealand. Being a beach bum is not all it’s imagined to be! But the beauty of the islands is wonderful to read about and enjoy.
Typical Michener - - great geographical, historical, and character development. I liked Hawaii better and Rascals in Paradise as well, but I've never met a Michener book I could put down. My favorites are, Chesapeake (all time #1), Texas, Hawaii, Alaska, any of the South Pacific stories. Highly recommend any Michener book.
This is, in a way, a follow-up to Mitchner's Tales of the South Pacific. The time is five years after the end of World War II. It is more like Mitchner's later books with factual chapters about the South Pacific interspersed with anecdotal chapters giving life, flavor, and character to its inhabitants. From Australia and New Zealand to the New Hebrides and Polynesia, he describes each islands' unique features; how some you may want to live in, why some you would want to avoid. The detail is intense with out being tedious, truly captivating, a great, fun-read as only Mitchner can provide.
Great detail, although a little dated, now. I read this just before a long cruise in the South Pacific, and many of the descriptions proved to be accurate enough to get much more out of our visits to some of the same islands that Michener describes in this book. The format is a nice combination of description and drama for each of the locations he covers. Easy and engaging read!
I purchased this book after seeing the 1953 movie based on one of the stories in "Return to Paradise". After reading the book, I discovered that Michener painted a picture of Polynesia and the South Pacific as being both a heaven and a hell. Unlike the 'travelog" descriptions by the media and travel indusrty, Michener is brutally honest. He describes both the things that make the South Pacific a place of indescribable beauty and a place exactly the opposite by telling interweaving tales of events and people in various places. These stories are eye-opening giving a taste of reality in this blend of fact and fiction.I recommend this as a mandatory reading for any American who wishes to go beyond the typical tourist venues of any of these South Pacific Paradises, otherwise they may be in for a shock. Until I read this book, I wanted to retire to and live in one of the many places Michener writes about. I now realize, where I live is closer to my idea of Paradise than what I envisioned the places of the South Pacific.
Sane format as other Michener books. Not as good as the Source and a few others however, still a fascinating read. If you enjoy learning while being entertained then this as well as other Michener novels are for you.
