and tonga to tahiti. hawaii, of course. new zealand, australia, tasmania, pretty much everywhere in the pacific. he went and that's sort of the facetious answer to your question. captain cook has been on my radar for a long time. he was one of the great explorers of all time. but i couldn't figure out a way into that story as an american writer with an american publisher and a largely american readership. it's sort of been the province of the brits and the australians and the kiwis. but then i realized that captain cook's third voyage, which is the subject of the book, was a very american tale. they they left in july of 1776, just as the certain events were heating up in in boston and philadelphia. and they go around the world to explore the west coast of the north american continent. along the way, they stumbled upon this amazing archipelago, the hawaiian islands, and they chart the coast of oregon and washington and nearly the entire coast of of alaska. and so i started to realize this is an american story and much more i

he has been to tahiti. now he is all the way up in hawaii and they are speaking more or less the same language. they have the same culture. they are the same people and he is beginning to wonder, how did they do it? what was their technology? ships that had no metal, they did not have nails, rivets, anything like european ships. they somehow managed these incredible migrations all across many thousands of miles of pacific. he is really one of the first european explorers to begin to understand that and question their ship architecture and like how do they accomplish this amazing feat? he reaches the pacific northwest at a place here called cape foul weather, named by him. one of the great things is that he did not name anything after himself. there are plenty of things named after him but he did not come up with those names himself. it was usually the admiralty that did that. really literal in naming things. just said the weather was foul today, so cape foul weather. i was flattered by the coast here. i tho

finally moving toward tahiti.gorgeous place that was famous among all the sailors of england and all over europe for being a beautiful place, beautiful women, great food, great place to get some r&r. half of the sailors signed on so they could go to this incredible spot in tahiti. this is from my iphone. don't hate me for the fact that i had to go to these places. he was not just their for r&r -- there for r&r or fun, he was they with the mission, a very particular mission. that was, it had to do with some guy, a polynesian young man, a major character in the book, a guy who would come to england on cook's second voyage and had become the first polynesian to set foot on british soil. he had an amazing experience. he learned english. he learned being an aristocrat. he played backgammon and chess. he was vaccinated for smallpox.o he met king george. he met boswell and all of the individuals at the time and was held up at a paragon of the noble savage. overall, he had an amazing two years in england. the early part o

and you know, to the temples of tahiti.s not allowed all the weird kind rules and regulations, a kind of quasi religious and also legal kind of system of laws like such things as like, you know, if if the shadow if your shadow were to fall upon the king, you could be killed or, you know, women aren't supposed to eat certain species, fish or all kinds of very, extremely delineated specific. but anyway, this concept taboo very quickly enters lexicon of of english society with within a few short years of his voyages. and we talk, oh, that's taboo. you can't do that. you know whatever whatever the taboo might be. so we get that. so massage is another thing that we get from his voyages. lomi, lomi tahitian massage is something that all of his nearly of his explorers, all of his sailors sailors. experience at some point like captain cook himself was suffering mightily from a condition called sciatic ca, which is, you know, incredibly debilitating thing. and he was, you know, he didn't want to be touched, know he is british. but h

in tahiti, the first tahitian period, yes, the first time when he arrived there, he was very happy andof hope that ... once gauguin received a serious leg injury, which only worsened on the exotic islands. all this combination of factors only intensified the artist's gloomy mood and moved him to the abyss. gagen himself called his style cloisonné from the word cloisonné enamel, gagen has a contour, inside which, literally planes of bright color and only human figures the artist he writes differently, with a large number of reflections, shadows, more volume. as for symbolism, now gauguin is considered one of the founders of this movement or at least representatives, in his paintings there are many objects or details that have meaning, and either they have some meaning in the already established culture, or gauguin himself gives them meaning. for example, looking at the painting of a girl with a fruit, we can immediately recall the biblical story, where the girl plays the role of eve, the fruit in her hands, as a symbol of the very sin of adam and eve their losses. on earth, gauguin's li
