Bengt and his wife (Marie-Therese) stayed for one year at Raroia, and the book is sort of a combined diary and anthropological study about the relatively untouched and rarely visited french polynesian island. Really fascinating and comes really close to the dream of the tropical paradise and escape from the industrial world. Then again, it was written more than 50 years ago (1953) so I suppose a lot has changed since then. A good book for dreamers though.
