Autorenporträt

Robert Dean Frisbie (1896 - 1948) was an American writer whose evocative work provided a poignant glimpse into life in the South Pacific. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Frisbie traveled extensively before settling in the Cook Islands, where he immersed himself in island culture. His experiences in this remote part of the world served as a lush backdrop for his literary endeavors. His most well-known book, 'The Island of Desire,' captures the quintessence of the idyllic yet challenging life on a tropical island and reflects his deep appreciation for the Polynesian way of life. Frisbie's writing is often characterized by a blend of romance and realism, interweaving vivid descriptions of the landscape with the stark realities of living in isolation. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Frisbie's work offers valuable insights into the South Pacific's cultural and environmental milieu during the early 20th century. His storytelling reflects an era of exploration and adventure, and his literary contributions continue to resonate with readers seeking to escape to the remote and enchanting islands he so lovingly depicted.
