Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. A black coloured hardback book, with gilt titles running along the spine. Comes with nice clean, dust jacket, not price clipped. First published in 1977 by Oxford University Press, Melbourne, Australia, First Edition. This wonderful book is in really very good condition and as its a used book, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. 297 pages, all intact and nice tight binding. Tonga is one of the few remaining kingdoms in the world and surely the smallest. It is, moreover, the only Polynesian independence unbroken, and its cultural heritage largely intact. The work begins with the myths which Tongans tell about the origins of their land and people. The early history of the group is investigated through modern archaeological techniques and a recounting of ancient legends. Accounts are given of the coming of the western navigators, the arrival of the beachcombers and evangelization of the islands by Christian missionaries. The establishment of the Tongan Kingdom, the setting up of its constitution, the problems besetting the tiny state in the age of aggressive imperialism and the reign of the revered Queen Salote are dealt with. The book ends with an assessment of the problems of contemporary Tonga from the viewpoints of an anthropologist and an economist. Codice articolo 2072
