The Island of Desire

Robert Dean Frisbie's 'The Island of Desire' is a vivid and introspective account of his life on the remote Polynesian island of Pukapuka. Frisbie's lyrical prose style immerses the reader in the lush landscapes and rich culture of the island, while also exploring themes of nature, isolation, and the longing for connection. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the book offers a unique perspective on Pacific Island life and the impact of Western colonization. Robert Dean Frisbie, an American author and adventurer, draws from his own experiences living on Pukapuka to create a nuanced and heartfelt portrait of the island's inhabitants and traditions. His deep respect for the Polynesian way of life shines through in his writing, making 'The Island of Desire' a poignant and enlightening read. I highly recommend 'The Island of Desire' to readers interested in travel literature, cultural exploration, and the human experience. Frisbie's evocative storytelling and sincere portrayal of Pukapuka make this book a captivating and thought-provoking journey into a world unknown to many.
