"Tales 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.
