This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII IN HAWAII'S LEE To End one's journey at Honolulu would be to know nothing of the Hawaiian islands. The capital is as cosmopolitan as all seaports. After all, the country's the place to study. Of course, Kilauea is the objective point--there is something to fascinate even about a quiescent volcano, and no one can afford to miss the sight of one of the earth's breathing-places. There are ways and ways to go. One is short and one is long, and the professional globe-trotter will always choose the shorter; but it is the long way, down Hawaii's lee, that gives the most interesting sights and scenes of all the islands. In the Kona district live the natives of purest blood. There has been less mixture of race here than elsewhere, and the Kanaka has married a woman of his own race, and has multiplied. You are astonished at the number of little brown children that greet you at the landings. The men and women are happy and flowertrimmed. What do they care for changing governments and altered flags? They are safe and sheltered and far away. There is much talk in Honolulu of choppy channels and the sickness of the sea, and, in truth, the sea is not a mill-pond. But the Mauna Loa, which travels this way every ten days, laden with passengers and freight, is a stanch little boat, and as comfortable as any steamer in the world. When she was built the despised passenger was considered. The staterooms are large, and the dining-room is on the upper deck, which is a boon to the seasick. There is always a great quantity of freight, and while it is being unloaded, passengers have an opportunity to go ashore. It is historic ground, every inch of it, and one only regrets that there are not weeks instead of days to give to exploration. At the dock...

Hawaii Nei brings together three plays by one of Hawaii's finest playwrights. A compassionate portrait of early nineteenth- century Hawaii, "The Conversion of Kaahumanu" charts the lives of five women during the traumatic, transforming events that followed Western contact. Set in post-World War II Hawaii, "Emmalehua" tells the story of a young Hawaiian woman struggling to preserve a cherished cultural heritage in a world eager to forget the past and embrace the new American dream. Through history, humor, and a whodunnit plot, the past and present collide in "Ola Na Iwi," which explores the issues surrounding the treatment of indigenous human remains.

Here for the first time is a large collection of Hawaiian songs in an authoritative text with translation (music not included). The texts have never before been written consistently with the glottal stops (indicating syllabic breaks between vowels) and macrons (indicating long vowels and stresses) that make the words pronounceable by those unfamiliar with the Hawaiian language. Many of the songs have not been translated before or have only been freely adapted rather than translated. These 101 songs are all postmissionary and owe their musical origin to missionary hymns, although only a few are religious. None are technically chants, though some are chants that have been edited and set to music. They date from the mid-1850s (most are from the time of the monarchy) to 1968 (the date of Mary Kawena Pukui's translation of Christmas songs). Nearly all of these songs are sung today and are well known to Hawaiian singers. Included are love songs, and Christmas songs. There is an exhaustive introduction, which includes classification and arrangement of the songs; a note on the composers; and analysis of the structure, symbolism, and meanings of the songs; and a note on the translations and on the poetic vocabulary of the Hawaiian words.
