Download or read book Selections from Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes written by William Westervelt. This book was released on 2016-08-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes was first published in 1916, William Drake Westervelt introduced stories of the volcano goddess Pele to an English speaking audience.His timeless storytelling is combined with full color and block print artwork by Dietrich Varez to create a stunning picture of Pelehonuamea; Pele of the sacred land.Pele's voyage to find a new home echoes a cultural history of migration. She is accompanied by her family, including her shark-god brother, Kämohoali'i and her youngest, most beloved sister, Hi'iakaikapoliopele. Conflicts with her sisters and rivals -- Namakaokaha'i, the sea goddess, and Poli'ahu, the snow goddess -- offer explanations for natural events framed in glorious battles. Kamapua'a, her demi-god lover and rival, features prominently in stories displaying her explosive jealousy. Interspersed in the doings of gods are Pele's encounters with mortals, who often emerge the worse for the experience.Republication of this iconic work celebrates the 100th anniversary of its original printing, as well as the concurrent centennial celebrations of the United States National Park Service and the creation of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Of Westervelt's original book, only the legends are included in this volume. The text, orthography and scientific names reflect the original publication, and no changes have been made to Westervelt's prose. This timeless collection preserves many of the best loved tales of Pele - her adventures, her family and her volcanic home - and presents them for a new generation to embrace.
