  • Mutiny on the Bounty: a Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia
    4 Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny on the Bounty: A Piece of Colonial Historical Fiction Sylvie Largeaud-Ortega University of French Polynesia Introduction Various Bounty narratives emerged as early as 1790. Today, prominent among them are one 20th-century novel and three Hollywood movies. The novel,Mutiny on the Bounty (1932), was written by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, two American writers who had ‘crossed the beach’1 and settled in Tahiti. Mutiny on the Bounty2 is the first volume of their Bounty Trilogy (1936) – which also includes Men against the Sea (1934), the narrative of Bligh’s open-boat voyage, and Pitcairn’s Island (1934), the tale of the mutineers’ final Pacific settlement. The novel was first serialised in the Saturday Evening Post before going on to sell 25 million copies3 and being translated into 35 languages. It was so successful that it inspired the scripts of three Hollywood hits; Nordhoff and Hall’s Mutiny strongly contributed to substantiating the enduring 1 Greg Dening, ‘Writing, Rewriting the Beach: An Essay’, in Alun Munslow & Robert A Rosenstone (eds), Experiments in Rethinking History, New York & London, Routledge, 2004, p 54. 2 Henceforth referred to in this chapter as Mutiny. 3 The number of copies sold during the Depression suggests something about the appeal of the story.

  • Commencement Speech Ambassador (Ret.) Nicholas Burns American University of Paris May 23, 2017 Good Morning, Ladies and Gentleme
    Commencement Speech Ambassador (ret.) Nicholas Burns American University of Paris May 23, 2017 Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am honored to be with you in the beautiful Theatre de Paris for the American University commencement. To President Celeste Schenck and to the Board of Trustees and its Chair, Raymond Henze: thank you very much for this kind invitation. To the parents: as the father of an AUP graduate, I know how proud you are to see your daughters and sons reach this day. You have now paid for that achievement in more ways than one! To the graduates: this is your day. And I want to reassure you that I understand the perilous position of a commencement speaker: I am the one person standing in the way of you and your diplomas. So, I promise to be brief. It is special opportunity to be back in Paris. Forty years ago, I spent my Junior year in college here—at the Institute of European Studies and at the Sorbonne. It was a life-changing experience to learn about the great French Impressionist Masters; to read Flaubert, Stendhal and Balzac; to take an extraordinary course at the Sorbonne--La Revolution Francaise et L’Empire--taught by the eminent French Professor, Jean Tulard. Paris was an education all by itself from the Louvre to the Pompidou Center, which had just opened, to the cafes of Montparnasse and St. Germain, to Pere Lachaise, Le Marais and the Luxembourg Gardens. So many beautiful and inspiring places! I don’t think I learned as much in the six other countries in which I have lived as I did that one year in Paris.

  • James Norman Hall
    James Norman Hall James Norman Hall (* 22. April 1887 in Colfax, Iowa; † 5. Juli 1951 in Vaipoopoo, Tahiti) war ein US-amerikanischer Autor, der vor allem durch seinen Roman Mutiny on the Bounty (Meuterei auf der Bounty) bekannt ist. Leben Hall wurde in Colfax (Iowa) geboren, wo er die örtliche Schule besuchte. Nach Abschluss seiner Studien 1910 am Grinnell College war er zunächst in der Sozialarbeit in Boston (Massachusetts) tätig, gleichzeitig versuchte er sich als Schriftsteller zu etablieren und studierte für das Master's degree an der Harvard University. Im Sommer 1914 war Hall im Vereinigten Königreich in Urlaub, als der Erste Weltkrieg ausbrach. Er gab sich als Kanadier aus, meldete sich freiwillig für die British Army und diente bei den Royal Fusiliers als Maschinengewehrschütze während der Schlacht von Loos. Er wurde entlassen, nachdem seine wahre Nationalität festgestellt wurde, kehrte in die Vereinigten Staaten zurück und schrieb sein erstes Buch, Kitchener's Mob (1916), das von seinen Kriegserfahrungen in der Freiwilligenarmee von Lord Kitchener erzählte. Er kehrte nach Frankreich zurück und trat der Escadrille La Fayette bei, einem französisch-amerikanischen Fliegerkorps, bevor die Vereinigten Staaten offiziell in den Krieg eintraten. Hall wurde mit dem Croix de Guerre mit fünf Palmen und der Médaille Militaire ausgezeichnet. Als die Vereinigten Staaten in den Krieg eintraten, wurde Hall zum Captain im Army Air Service. Dort begegnete er einem anderen amerikanischen Piloten, Charles Nordhoff. Nachdem er abgeschossen wurde, verbrachte Hall die letzten Monate des Konfliktes als ein deutscher Kriegsgefangener. Er wurde in die französische Ehrenlegion aufgenommen und es wurde ihm das amerikanische Distinguished Service Cross verliehen.

  • The South Pacific in the Works of Robert Dean Frisbie
    UDK 821.111(73).09 Frisbie R. D. THE SOUTH PACIFIC IN THE WORKS OF ROBERT DEAN FRISBIE Natasa Potocnik Abstract Robert Dean Frisbie (1896-1948) was one of the American writers who came to live in the South Pacific and wrote about his life among the natives. He published six books between 1929 and his death in 1948. Frisbie was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on 16 April1896. He attended the Raja Yoga Academy at Point Loma in California. Later he enlisted in the U. S. army and was medically discharged from the army in 1918 with a monthly pension. After his work as a newspaper columnist and reporter for an army newspaper in Texas, and later for the Fresno Morning Republican, he left for Tahiti in 1920. In Tahiti he had ambitious writing plans but after four years of living in Tahiti, he left his plantation and sailed to the Cook Islands. He spent the rest of his life in the Cook Islands and married a local girl Ngatokorua. His new happiness gave him the inspiration to write. 29 sketches appeared in the United States in 1929, collected by The Century Company under the title of The Book of Puka-Puka. His second book My Tahiti, a book of memories, was published in 1937. After the death of Ropati 's beloved wife his goals were to bring up his children. But by this time Frisbie was seriously ill. The family left Puka-Puka and settled down on the uninhabited atoll of Suwarrow. Later on they lived on Rarotonga and Samoa where Frisbie was medically treated.

  • AFL Fall 2017 Gazette: Lafayette Trivia (2 of 2: Answer) by Ernest and Janet Sutton
    The Gazette of the American Friends of Lafayette No. 87 October 2017 Lafayette College, June 2017 Inside This Issue Newsletter 1 friendsoflafayette.org PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friend of Lafayette, This year, 2017, continues to be an important year for the commemoration of Lafayette and his legacy and for The AFL. Since the publication of No. 86 of the Gazette in May, 80 AFL members celebrated our hero with a wonderful annual meeting in Bethlehem, Easton and Philadelphia, PA. Our special thanks to Diane Shaw and Pam Murray of Lafayette College for organizing and hosting our group. At the meeting, the membership approved the sites for 2018 and 2019, leaving it to the Board of Governors to determine the order. Chuck Schwam and I advocated for Annapolis/Baltimore and Savannah/Edisto Island respectively for 2018. After a spirited debate conducted respectfully and without charges or countercharges, the Board by majority vote approved Annapolis for 2018 and Savannah the following year. AFL members participated in a number of other important events from June to October. These were the US Embassy’s Picpus Cemetery event held this year on June 30, 2017 where Augie Huber placed the AFL wreath, our own Picpus ceremony on the traditional date of July 4, a wreath-laying at the Baltimore Lafayette equestrian statue, which is 100 years old, on Lafayette’s birthday, September 6, and a ceremony to inaugurate the placement of equestrian statues of Generals Lafayette and Pershing in the town of Versailles, France in early October. Still to come are the Yorktown Day festivities from October 18 to 20 – see Chuck’s article for details – and a visit to the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond on the anniversary, October 27, of Lafayette’s visit there.
