Michener describes very lividly the atmosphere in the South Pacific during the War Year. It is a collection of novellas and short stories that hang together because some of the characters are in various stories. Michener focuses on the culture shock that many of the American soldiers experiences when they are exposed to people and islands that are very far removed form their Mid-western upbringing. Racism ' sometime it is overcome, sometimes people give in to it ' is another pivotal point. All the stories are interesting and have usually some kind of surprise. The author is very good at describing the landscape, the atmosphere, and the indigenous polulation. The novel was the basis for musical 'South Pacific' which makes me vey curious indeed to listen to that music and find out if the musical is true to the book.
Racism and military ' the book has certainly stand the test of time these topics never seem to lose their importance. Very recommendable.

I read this book one year over Christmas and I have not been able to forget it since. Sometimes it becomes a bit slow, but, once you get to the end of it and look back, you are very happy that you persevered through those few tedious parts.

I first read this book when I was young, not long after I saw the movie "South Pacific". I didn't particularly like it because the characters were the same ones as in the movie but they didn't "fit" in the same way. After many, manyy years, I read it just the other night and loved it! It had been long enough since I saw the film that the characters could stand on their own. Mitchener wrote this soon after the war when his memories were still fresh and he displays a great deal of affection for the "typical" sailor caught thousands of miles from home. For many, they would never get home. To this American tale, he adds a lot of tropical spice: Bloody Mary, the Frenchman's Daughter, Emil De Becque himself. Mitchener shows the American fighting man as hero, coward, nice guy, louse, sacrificial, selfish, and mostly a combination of all of these traits. Although I have read many of Mitchener's books, this is still his best: young, filled with Mitchener's memories from his recently-concluded naval service during World War II. Deservedly one of the classics that came from World War II.

Kriegsverherrlichend, menschenverachtend, spaßig
"Tales of the South Pacific" ist eines dieser Bücher, die ich nicht begreife. Wie kann ein Buch welches schreckliche Dinge so romantisiert ein Klassiker sein? Lesen Sie weiter...

This was Michener's first book and it's one of his shortest. It is also, for my money, his best (though I must admit I haven't read them all), maybe because it is based on... Lesen Sie weiter...

Read this book before watching the movie South Pacific!
Because I had seen the movie South Pacific, which was based on this book, I already knew the main characters and the plot of the story once I reached for this tear-jerking book. Lesen Sie weiter...
