It was a fateful day when Maui, in defiance of the wishes of his older brothers, sneaked on board their canoe. Revealing himself only when they were far out to sea, he baited his magic hook and, chanting a powerful incantation, cast his line. There was no doubts that the fish would be wondrous, but even Maui's brothers were in awe of it when it leapt through the waves. Falling on the fish in their hunger, they hacked at it, tearing its edges and pitting its surface. So Aotearoa was born to the world of light. Aotearoa New Zealand: land of lakes and forests, mountains and rivers. Aotearoa: the legendary land.
The legendary land is revealed in all its astonishing beauty in this exceptional book. Through the images of the young German photographer Holger Leue and the words of distinguished Maori writer Witi Ihimaera, The Legendary Land captures the essence of the timeless New Zealand landscape and the spirit of its people, who discovered an extraordinary new country and made it their home.
The Legendary Land is a special and enduring record of one of the most remarkable countries on earth.
