A moving story of a Maori community's fight for survival, from one of New Zealand's most prominent and celebrated authors
On the remote coast of New Zealand, at the curve that binds the land and the sea, a small Maori community live, work, fish, play and tell stories of their ancestors. But something is changing. The prophet child toko can sense it. Men are coming, with dollars and big plans to develop the area for tourism. As their ancestral land becomes threatened, the people must unite in a battle for survival.
Weaving together myth and memory, Patricia Grace's prize-winning novel is a spellbinding portrait of a defiant community determined to protect their way of life at any cost.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Winner of the 1987 New Zealand Fiction AwardThis compelling novel will resonate for people everywhere who find their livelihood threatened by ""Dollarmen"" - property speculators advocating golf courses, high rises, shopping malls, and tourist attractions. In 'Potiki', one community's response to attacks on their ancestral values and symbols provides moving affirmation of the relationship between land the the people who live on it.

Recenzii
A searching examination of human nature [by] a canonical figure in postcolonial and Maori literature . . . a timely arrival, praising the strength and the resilience of the human spirit whilst capturing, in moments of crystallising clarity, the tragic masochism of its pain and sorrow.
