The Happy Isles of Oceania

£10.99

Desperately in need to get away from things, Paul Theroux is inspired by the view he sees from the plane that is taking him from Hawaii to New Zealand: "More than an ocean, the Pacific was like a universe, [¿] like outer space, an immensity of emptiness, dotted with misshapen islands that twinkled like stars, archipelagos like star clusters". So he sets off for the wilderness.
"An essential addition to the library of anyone interested in the South Pacific." - Daily Mail
