The Marriage of Loti (Rarahu) invites you into Tahiti through a young French sailor’s eyes, blending romance with a vivid travelogue of a vanishing world.
A lyrical, outsider’s view of love, culture, and memory.
Set against tropical shores, palace courtyards, and moonlit shores, this tale traces a young navigator’s coming-of-age amid the beauty and danger of Oceania. The narrative blends intimate longing with sharp observations about colonial life, art, and the shifting tides of tradition.
Experience the world through lush, cinematic scenes—from royal pomp to quiet moments of reflection—and meet the people who shape a life’s most lasting loyalties. The book moves between dreamlike reverie and grounded memory, offering both romance and a humane, if uneasy, glimpse of cultural change.
Ideal for readers who value literary travel writing, historical romance, and introspective storytelling set in the Pacific.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
