Hardcover. Zustand: Very good condition. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: good. 371 p. incl. plates, ports., diagrs. front. 21 cm. A personal account of life and culture in Tahiti during the early 20th century. Andrews' narrative blends travel literature with cultural observation, offering insights into the traditions, daily life, and natural beauty of Tahiti. Her work reflects a broader interest in Polynesia during this period, which was often romanticized by Western writers and travelers as an exotic and idyllic paradise. It aligns with a tradition of travel writing that shaped perceptions of the Pacific Islands for Western audiences, contributing to the mystique and allure associated with Tahitian culture. Andrews' detailed descriptions and personal reflections provide a valuable snapshot of Tahiti before the transformations brought by mid-20th century modernization and tourism. The Bookfellows was a literary society founded by Chicago poet and publisher Henry Harrison in the early 20th century. The society was dedicated to fostering the love of literature and supporting the work of authors, especially those who might not have had access to mainstream publishing. The books published under this imprint were often selected for their literary, artistic, or cultural value and were aimed at a discerning audience interested in high-quality, thoughtful writing.The Torch Press was known for its fine craftsmanship in book production. It often partnered with organizations and individuals like The Bookfellows to produce limited-run, aesthetically pleasing books. These works typically featured thoughtful typography, high-quality materials, and an emphasis on preserving the integrity of the text and its artistic presentation.
