Rogue, traveller and determined antropologist, Augustin Krämer was one of the true characters of nineteenth century Oceania. The Samoa Islands (1902-1903) is his most enduring work, a methodically researched compendium of things Samoan. The first volume contains Samoan fa'alupega (ceremonial greetings) and gafa (genealogical pedigrees), and provides a comprehensive overview of Samoan oral traditions and political structure. This new edition is in both Samoan and English.
