Rezensionen

Imagine a book about Gauguin written by someone who truly knows, first hand, the Pacific islands, their history, their cultures. Imagine an author capable of looking at Gauguin's paintings not as illustrations of 'primitivism' or 'colonialism' but as attempts – failures, successes, improbabilities – to come to terms with another way of life. This is the book. There is no other like it.
