Au vent de la Grande Terre : histoire des îles Loyalty de 1840 à 1895
Raymond-Henri Leenhardt est né en 1903, à Do-Néva, station missionnaire que son père - Maurice Leenhardt - fondait alors en Nouvelle-Calédonie ; ancien élève du Collège La Pérouse ; le Pasteur Raymond-Henri Leenhardt a vécu 16 ans parmi les Mélanésiens et parle le Houailou, langue qu’il enseigne à l’École nationale des langues orientales vivantes. Il a connu les fils des Loyaltiens dont il raconte l’histoire. Il exerce son ministère à Paris, après avoir passé quelques années à Alger, et assure en outre la rédaction d’une importante revue : « Le monde non chrétien ». C’est l’impulsion donnée aux études océaniennes par Maurice Leenhardt, qui a conduit son fils à dépouiller les archives officielles et privées, et à écrire l’histoire des îles Loyalty.
Yucca City Blues
C'est à propos du désert qu'elle aurait aimé écrire. À propos de ce qu'il vous révélait quand vous étiez attentif à son silencieux langage. Écrire sur la vie, et non plus sur la mort [...] Le désert avait été sa catharsis. Il lui avait enseigné qu'il était possible de se tenir éloigné de la folie du monde. Lui avait appris la beauté de l'oubli et du pardon. Sa vie ne serait plus un combat, mené à la limite de ses forces. La solitude, hommage à une liberté retrouvée. Plus jamais sa vie ne s'inscrirait sous le signe de la révolte ou de la violence. Oui, elle écrirait sur ce désert qui l'avait pacifiée. Mais pour l'instant, il devait rester son secret. Un secret quelle porterait longtemps à l'intérieur d'elle-même, afin que s'accomplisse le travail souterrain d'où émergerait une juste parole, celle d'un esprit accordé, enfin, au chant du monde.

Appendixes of the major islands and atolls within Polynesia, the rulers and administrators of the 13 major island states, and basic demographic information of those states are also included.
