Features: One of the "Essays Translation Series," "The Book of Savagery," mainly including two parts: "Noa Noa" and "Letters." The former is a "savage poem," filled with Gauguin's yearning for "savage life" and his extreme rejection of modern Western civilization. At the same time, it is also a book of action, as Gauguin completed an inverse transformation from a "civilized person" in Western modernity to a "savage" through his own life journey. The latter reveals the profound motivations behind Gauguin's eccentric behavior and outlines the numerous obstacles faced by a genius painter on his life path.
