HAWAIIS STORY - LILI_UOKALANI TASCHENBUCH

A memoir of a Hawaiian queen living in the Victorian era is fascinating to anyone seeking rare
historical pieces and materials about political leaders. It tells about Liliuokalani  the last
queen of Hawaii  whose ancestors were first converts to Christianity and creators of the
constitution. She lived in the turbulent times of the Victorian era  a problematic period for
Hawaii and herself. Her life was full of events - from marriage and coronation to revolution
and imprisonment. The book is written in the first person and claims to be a personal memoir of
the real princess. It describes in detail her childhood  marriage  a world tour  acquaintance
and friendship with President Cleveland and his wife  a visit to Great Britain  meetings with
nobility and then the overthrow of the monarchy in Hawaii  and other political events leading
to the annexation of Hawaii to the US in the late 19thcentury  which she didn't support. The
book is considered an important document and one of the key historical sources for the Hawaiian
sovereignty movement.
