The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the Pacific

Description
Paul Theroux invites us to join him on one of his most exotic and tantalising adventures exploring the coasts and blue lagoons of the Pacific Islands, and taking up residence to discover the secrets of these isles. Theroux is a mesmerising narrator - brilliant, witty, keenly perceptive as he floats through Gauguin landscapes, sails in the wake of Captain Cook and recalls the bewitching tales of Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson. Alone in his kayak, paddling to seldom visited shores, he glides through time and space, discovering a world of islands, their remarkable people, and in turn, happiness.

'A sharp, fascinating and highly entertaining book ... Theroux at his best' Daily Telegraph.
