Pressestimmen
It is a deeply meditative book whilst remaining an extremely appealing read. Described by Robin Knox-Johnston as one of the great free spirits of the sea, Moitessier tells of his early childhood in Vietnam and the subsequent call of the sea, that took him around the World in an endless quest. His extraordinary story is a book that prompts us to look within ourselves and seek that same spirit that dares to challenge destiny. It is also an incredible adventure story.
(Royal Navy Sailing Association )Kurzbeschreibung
This fascinating memoir spans the time from Moitessier's magical childhood in Indochina to the months before his death in June 1994. Moitessier became famous for his daring sailing exploits, often done solo. He first went to sea on junks, criss-crossing the Gulf of Siam. After leaving Indochina, he led the life of a sea-gypsy, wandering the Indian Ocean, the South Atlantic, and the Caribbean. Then came the Golden Globe Race: during ten months alone at sea, something happen to Moitessier that made him turn his back on a small fortune and fame. He withdrew from the race, and explained it in his book, The Long Way. He spent the last eight years of his life writing Tamata.

The book is for anyone with the insight and vision to look within themselves for the answers to the questions that plague man. Bernard Moitessier once wrote, "to feast at the great table, you must have a great hunger and a willingness to go unfed. Only one in amillion have both." This book illustrates that beautifully. This book isn't about sailing. It is about man's struggle within himself to reach peace and harmony. This book is about the hope and triumph of man's indomitable spirit. It is about man's fortitude to pursue dreams and follow their passions. The ideals contained in this book are like the messages in the bottles that Moitessier alludes to in the book. Some of them will bear fruit immediately, others, only after many years, and yet others will be washed up on desert islands where they will fade and wither dismally with age.

Yes, I am a dedicated reader of B.M. I find it stunning to learn his ways and views, his practical seamanship and openness. This last work of Bernard's gives a deep moving account of his early life and gives partly new views on aspects that where already issues of his earlier books. Some reader might find too much of mysticism. Granted! However, this world needs such kinds of thoughts and resulting actions as B.M. is telling and was realizing. Don't you think this world would be better if there were more Bernards (and less Ackermanns)?! I say a wholehearted "Yes, I do!".
Whatever, if you're a sailor you could profit very much of Bernard's hints of seamanship. If it has never crossed your mind to set a foot on board of a sailing yacht, maybe you'd get motivated to do so (although that motivation might come even more from the wonderful Seraffyn-adventure-books by Lin and Larry Pardey) - or you simply let yourself immerse into the enticing life of a marvellous character.
Hats off to the the excellent work of the translator (I cannot compare with the French original; nevertheless I very much enjoy the English version)!
To my opinion, if you want to get the most out of "Tamata and the Alliance", you should first read the preceding publications of B.M.

This is the best book I have ever read. I have never sailed a day in my life, and Moitessier captured me with adventure and determination.
