| In this book the richness of Poynesian mythology is brought to life through the extraordinary paintings of Bobby Holcomb.
Polynesian legends were generally passed on through story telling, this oral tradition is now threatened. Bobby's contribution
is therefore all the more valuable as it is the first time that these legends have been made accessible in such a striking
visual form. Bobby became part of a group reawakening in Tahiti, their aim was the power of their dreaming; for symbols which
unite our souls Bobbys painting invite us into this sacred world. Myths and legends, symbols and dreams, dancers and musicians,
tatooing, traditinal sports, art and handicrafts, daily life, geometric.
