About the Item

Hardcover edition of Noa Noa by Paul Gauguin, translated by Jonathan Griffin. Published by Reynal & Company in 1960. A vivid, sensuous travel diary from Gauguin’s first trip to Tahiti, Noa Noa blends poetic impressions with sharp ethnographic observations. Initially written to accompany his paintings, the text drifts between reverie and rebellion, describing Polynesian rituals, landscapes, and the artist’s own mythologized vision of escape. This edition restores Gauguin’s original manuscript, long obscured by editing, and includes a postscript by Jean Loize. “Much of the charm and crispness of the manuscript was lost in earlier versions—this translation recovers its strange immediacy and Gauguin’s voice in full: luminous, defiant, and wholly unfiltered.”
