Samenvatting | The European seamen who explored the Pacific made some of the longest and most hazardous voyages in history. They had to endure squalor, brutality, hunger, thirst and an appalling death rate. However, when they reached the islands of the central Pacific they were made welcome by a people who, in innocence, offered them food, drink, shelter and sex, and asked for nothing in return. Within a century after the arrival of the Eurpeans, the people of the Pacific had been decimated by deprivation, disease and the total collapse of their culture. |
