5.0 out of 5 stars
The One Indispensable Book on Easter Island,
By j.guy@trl.telstra.com.au (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ethnology of Easter Island (Paperback)
This 400+ page paperback, a reprint of the 1941 original, is printed in a font size which makes it the equivalent of 800 pages of today's more common offerings. Almost 60 years later it remains the unsurpassed Encyclopaedia Pascuensis. Geography, climate, flora, fauna, society, art, language, culture, everything is there, tattoos, games, the still undeciphered writing system, religion, traditional law... everything. Indispensable to anyone interested in Easter Island, and at $29.50, a steal. However much I may disagree with Metraux about the famous, enigmatic, rongorongo (see http://www.netaxs.com/~trance/rongo.html), I do not hesitate one nanosecond in giving it the top rating: 10. |
