The 1950 edition, published by «Foreign Literature» in Moscow, is a translation from English of Te Rangi Hiroa’s (Peter Buck’s) book dedicated to Polynesian navigators. Spanning 268 pages with illustrations and a map, the author recounts the remarkable skills of Polynesians who traversed thousands of kilometers in small vessels. The author’s theory of the settlement of Pacific islands from the American side contrasts with Thor Heyerdahl’s theory.
