The main point of the work is that the native inhabitants of Polynesian islands, contrary to being thought of as of Asiatic origin, are actually from the Americas. He utilizes varied literary devices of narration, description and comparison to illustrate the central thesis. In other words, Heyerdahl brings all ingenuity and creativity to bear on his writing, just as they were amply evident in the actual voyage. The stupendous success of the book is as much owing to the author’s story-telling skills as it is about the thrills inherent in the adventure. The book in question chronicles his jaw-dropping journey from Peru to the Polynesian islands on the hand-made balsa wood raft with only natural accessories at disposal. Adventure sailor Thor Heyerdahl’s audacious attempt to voyage across the Pacific using a rudimentary raft is a great human achievement.
