Краткое описание:
The Mythology of Hawaii is a collection of folk and ethnic tales written by Kalākaua, the last king of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Although retelling myths and legends, the book is sort of an account of Hawaiian history until the times of Kalākaua. It reveals facts related to the waves of migration from Samoa and other places in Polynesia, and the interaction between them and the inhabitants of the Hawaii islands. It also recounts their wars and their political organization in addition to a brief look at the social organization.
