Title
Tuiavii's Way : A South Sea Chief's Comments on Western Society,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Tuiavii, a Samoan chief, traveled to Europe at the turn of the 20th century and wrote a commentary condemning the very foundations of Western society. Today, at the dawn of the millenium, his words promise to cast a spell over a new generation of readers. By looking at ourselves through Tuiavii's eyes we are saddened by the loss of simplicity and humanity in our society. Yet each page, filled with Tuiavii's insight, brings us a step closer to the truth and, ultimately, to understanding ourselves. Masterfully translated; with a cultural and literary perspective by Peter C. Cavelti.
