Описание: Hawaiians fought in the American Civil War? Maui-born author/playwright, Wayne Moniz, set out on a quest to write his first novel and answer the question. Pukoko: A Hawaiian in the American Civil War traces the life of Mo keha from childhood to manhood to accomplished sailore and naval war hero. Despite Hawaii's declaration of neutrality, over one hundred men from Hawai i, embodied in the character of Mo ikeha, were caught up in the bloody current of history, some surviving the ordeal, some receiving their pihi pukoko or red badge of courage, and some never returning to the Rose of the Chiefs - their beloved homeland, Hawai i. Come along on a journey of love and adventure between 1843-1865 with a keiki o Maui and his stops in San Francisco, Mexico, New Orleans, Vicksburg, Richmond, New York, and New Bedford.

Описание: In his first book, "Under Maui Skies and Other Stories," Wayne Moniz wrote seven tales of his Maui home. In this new book, "Beyond the Reef: Stories of Maui in the World," the prize-winning author introduces eight new narratives. Like all his previous works, the Maui native has based these stories on the people, events, and issues of Hawai i, with the aim of preserving its rich past. This time some mo olelo occur beyond the Valley Isle. The new settings - the Big Island, O ahu, California, and even Europe - are all, nevertheless, anchored in the writer's birthplace. As in his former anthology - 2010 Readers' Choice Book of the year by the Hawai i Book Publishers Association - each yarn is of a different genre: ghost story, comedy, crime, a Western, and this time, includes several new types: a tragedy, an inspirational story, a coming-of-age tale, and a sports reminiscence. Here's what critics said about his last book, "Under Maui Skies and Other Stories" "The Storyteller, writer Wayne Moniz, brings Maui's past to life." Maui Time "Under Maui Skies is one of the most engaging works of fiction to come out of Hawai in a long time." The San Francisco Chronicle Here's what they're already saying about "Beyond the Reef: Stories of Maui in the World" "Let 'Beyond the Reef' carry you away into a treasure of stories from the talented pen of Wayne Moniz." Kumu Keli i Tau a, PhD "What the world needs now is love... here are some stories of how to live aloha." Alaka i Paleka, The Morning goddess, KPOA Radio "Dip your feet into Wayne's warm world of cultural tidal pools and sweet aloha. You'll want to stay awhile." Keola Beamer, singer, author, composer, slack key master Born and raised on Maui, Wayne Moniz has taught writing on all levels, the "Dean of Maui Playwrights," by the Maui News. In 2005, he received the Cades Award for Literature, Hawaii's most prestigious writing prize for his body of work that includes thirteen plays, numerous short stories, screenplays, poetry, and lyrics.

Описание: Before the time of Moby Dick, when whaling ships first began hunting in the mid-Atlantic, the ocean was said to be harbor monsters. Below the nine islands of the Azores one such monster waits. He waits for those that murder his kin, the whalers with their longboats and deadly harpoons. Antonio is a big man, a harpooner long sworn to kill the monster whale that plagues his homeland's waters. While chasing the great beast he finds a boy, wounded and floating on the sea. With no memory of who he is or where he came from, the boy's survival seems a miracle to the harpooner and Antonio becomes his protector. Together they face the rigors of life on a whaling vessel, hunting and killing the largest thing that has ever lived. As the boy's respect for both the whaler and the whales themselves grows, he becomes tormented by visions and memories he doesn't understand. It's a life of blood and fire, sailing endlessly for whales to kill and render profits from. Until they battle the leviathan, the monster whale that will lead the boy to the whaler's homeland. An island beset by pirates and war; an island that will restore his memories and teach the boy the true meaning of strength and courage.
