Resumen de Noa Noa: une fable exotique
Gauguin, the stranger, the Indian as he used to call himself, left for Tahiti in spring 1891. Savage among the savages, he went far beyond the temptation of the other, By learning and deepening his knowledge of Maori life, he increased the consciousness of his Self and his radical difference. The account of this first experience is Noa Noa. Written on the margin of painting, it constitutes an important reaction against contemporary french exotic literature.
