Book-length account on subject. One of Susanna Moore's most beautifully written books. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only and as part of the now-legendary National Geographic Directions Series. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Susanna Moore's "I Myself Have Seen It: The Myth of Hawaii". The ultimate personal guide to the otherwise exotic islands that have served as the backdrop, the "canvas for her lush and haunting novels". "Proves the mystery, beauty, and myth of her native islands to be every bit as compelling as her fiction. She interweaves her own memories of growing up in Honolulu in the 1950's and 1960's with a concise chronicle of Hawaii's two-hundred-year encounter with the West. In the breathtaking landscape, she discovers that old, unwritten songs of Polynesia have survived despite the onslaught of missionaries in the early 18th century, the establishment of Hawaiian-language newspapers, and foreign attempts to free Hawaiians of their pagan superstitions. Susanna Moore's mesmerizing discovery of the real Hawaii" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Susanna Moore collectors. <b><i> This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the author: "2010 For M. Susanna Moore". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named, is a close friend of the author and cannot be named in full here. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed, dated, and inscribed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. It is one of the most beautiful signed copies we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. </b></i> Winner of the Pen/Ernest Hemingway Citation and The Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. One of the finest American novelists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSANNA MOORE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG. THANK YOU! ) I m . ISBN 0792265289., National Geographic Directions, 2003, 5<
