Discoveries:
Easter Island (Discoveries (Harry Abrams))
Easter Island and its mysteries, from its huge statues to its
strange hieroglyphics, have been a magnet for crankery of all
types, from the benign to the outrageous. How refreshing, then,
it is to see such a delicious book, factual and balanced, with
high-quality authentic illustrations on every page, every one
of them well chosen and to the point. Almost everything you
may ever want to know about Easter Island, short of a tourist
guide, is there, with full sources and references. How so much
information could have been packed in so few pages is a wonder.
Complete, attractive and scholarly, this little book will appeal
to all, even to the specialists. The illustrations alone are
a never-ending source of wonder and delight.
Splendid
Isolation: Art of Easter Island
Few Pacific islands hold as prominent a place in the Western
imagination as Easter Island. The most remote inhabited place
on earth, Easter Island is home to the Rapa Nui, a Polynesian
people who developed a unique series of artistic traditions.
While the island is renowned for the colossal stone figures
that adorned its temples, much of its art remains unfamiliar
to wider audiences. This book examines the island's diverse
artistic heritage and presents and discusses more than fifty
works, ranging from robust stone images to refined wooden sculpture,
rare barkcloth figures, and examples of rongorongo, the island's
unique and undeciphered script.
The
Enigmas of Easter Island
Easter Island, an isolated speck in the Pacific Ocean, produced
one of the most fascinating and yet least understood of ancient
cultures. Who were the inhabitants of this unimaginably remote
volcanic island? Where did they come from? What, and equally
intriguing, how did they erect the giant stone statues found
all over the island? And what became of their civilization?
