Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Hawaii is a novel by James A. Michener published in 1959, the year that Hawaii became the 50th U.S. state. It has been translated into 32 languages. The novel is regarded to be a well researched work historical novel though the narrative about early Polynesian inhabitants is based more on folklore than anthropological and archaeological sources., and some of the events are fictionalized. It is written in episodic format, like many of Michener's works, and narrates the stories of the original Hawaiians who sailed to the islands from Bora Bora, the early American missionaries and merchants, and the Chinese and Japanese immigrants who traveled to work and seek their fortunes in Hawaii. The story begins with the formation of the islands themselves millions of years ago and ends in the mid-1950s. Each section explores the experiences of different groups of arrivals.
