A song to Pacific islands rooted in a far-ranging journey, Reach
for Paradise is the Pacific addition to the world's fine travel
literature. Written as he gained deep knowledge of the islands and
their peoples, their history and traditions, the influences that
have shaped their destiny, Rayner's story conveys the mystery and
marvel of travel to destinations denied most people. Intent on
exploring what if anything has survived of the paradise celebrated
by travelers of past centuries, Rayner bought a sailboat and set
off, picking up both boat and island knowledge as he ploughed
30,000 miles of ocean. A personal journey of delight, Reach for
Paradise is rich with information gleaned from Pacific peoples,
literature and observation. For Pacific voyagers, Reach for
Paradise is an invaluable source. If a guide, rather than
explaining how to get there it is the sort that will tell
thoughtful adventurers why to go. And what you miss if you can't.
Protected uniquely by distance and time, Pacific islands are
extraordinary, often meeting the old definition of that devalued
word "paradise" as a place that inspires blissful contentment.
Island spirits and magic, landscapes, the splendor of coral reefs,
the gift economy, Rayner defies you to argue that planet Earth has
any better elixir for a world-weary traveler.
