Beschreibung

First published between 1887 and 1890, this six-volume work, containing Maori texts with English translations and commentary, and engraved illustrations, was one of the first printed records of the oral traditions of the Maori. The project was commissioned by the New Zealand government in 1879 when it was observed that, due to the introduction of European culture and education, indigenous traditions were in danger of dying out. The material was collected by John White (1826-91), an ethnographer, public servant and writer who had arrived in New Zealand as a boy and first began documenting Maori poetry in the 1840s. Volume 2, published in 1887, focuses on narratives including Rona and the Moon, the many exploits of the hero Maui, and the myths of the original canoes, as well as songs, chants and invocations.

Über den Autor

On April 14, 2014, Rob received a divine message: 'Stop fearing that which you do not want to happen, and instead, be afraid of what you do want.'

That insight led to coauthoring the book, How I Learned the Law of Fear: The Journey of Rob Waterlander, which chronicles his personal journey of navigating the law of fear.
