SynopsisTales of the South Pacific is the iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece that inspired a Broadway classic and launched the career of James A. Michener, one of America's most beloved storytellers. This thrilling work invites the reader to enter the exotic world of the South Pacific and luxuriate in the endless ocean, the coconut palms, the waves breaking into spray against the reefs, the full moon rising behind the volcanoes. And yet here also are the men and women caught up in the heady drama of World War II: the young Marine who falls for a beautiful Tonkinese girl; the Navy nurse whose prejudices are challenged by a French aristocrat; and all the soldiers and sailors preparing for war against the seemingly peaceful backdrop of a tropical paradise.

Great title, and explains the book very well.
My husband and I are huge Michener fans and were very pleased to be able to purchase a book that was his first one published. It is actually in very good shape, especially for a paperback, and we're already enjoying it. I think it's good for people to know how our troops fared in the islands during World War II. We thank you for this opportunity to own this classic book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
