James A. Michener, the master of historical fiction, revisits the scenes
of his first great work, Tales of the South Pacific, the Pulitzer
Prize winner that brought him international acclaim. In this sequel
collection, Michener once again evokes the magic of the extraordinary
isles in the Pacific--from Fiji and Guadalcanal to New Zealand and Papua
New Guinea--through stories that burst with adventure, charm, and local
color. For Michener's many fans around the globe, Return to Paradise
is a precious second look at a land of enchantment by one of the most
gifted storytellers of the twentieth century.
Praise for Return to Paradise
"A brilliant book and a worthy successor to Tales of the South
Pacific."--The Atlanta Constitution
"This is a book that should be read by everyone. . . . All who have seen
the South Pacific will find on every page the odors of frangipani,
copra, blood, and beer."--The New York Times
"There's drama and pathos and adventure and humanity . . . and a very
high degree of excellence. Michener can write."--Kirkus Reviews
