### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An incredible story despite its flaws
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2017*

This is an amazing story of Thor Hyerdahl's misguided attempt in 1936 to have an Adam and Eve existence, as he thought nature intended.  But the Garden of Eden had a few other people, and hell is other people. He didn't realize that human evolution requires being part of a social system. The story is flawed by the conspicuous use by Heyerdahl of his wife as just a prop to tell the story.  Her story is not even acknowledged.  Perhaps that's why they later divorced.  Another flaw is the lack of background information on Fatu-Hiva, which is actually quite relevant to the story.  To fully enjoy this story, read his earlier summary published in the January 1941 issue of National Geographic. That article also references an earlier 1920 article which gives additional background to Fatu-Hiva's history and customs.  (You can view these articles on the National Geographic website.) I suspect Hyerdahl actually read the excellent 1920 article before he selected Fatu-Hiva as his destination. Also, take a look at Fatu-Hiva on Google Earth.  You can see it hasn't changed much.  And if you look carefully you can see what could be the two huts described when they lived on the beach with the ex-cannibal.

    The real deal!

Torn off the screens and pick up this book.Survival Island before reality TV.  A good read and a keeper in my library.  Picked up a vintage copy for only a few bucks.I hope to bath in the waterfall pool at their mountain home site some day...
