Book Description
While he was leafing through the pages of the book on the ancient scriptures that have disappeared and not yet been deciphered, a sheet fell on the ground. She looked at him and understood that it had to be a letter that his grandfather had received from a friend and colleague. He picked it up from the ground and began to read aloud what was written on it: "Dear friend and companion of many adventures ... in these days there is a lot of talk among colleagues about the recent discovery of Easter Island, the gigantic Moai statues and the mysterious writing of the rongorongo ... A Dutch merchant I met in one of my recent travel, he showed me a series of symbols in rongorongo copied from an ancient tablet. He told me that he had heard rumors about the translation mystery that spoke of a Moai prophecy ... of when the sun will join with the darkness ... I faithfully reproduced them ...

Book Description
How would you stay if you found a moai at the doorway when you got home? You'd be pretty surprised, right? You would think that you are hallucinating or, failing that, that someone is playing a joke on you. Something like this is what happened to me that day after being fired by the company where I worked. And it was only the beginning of a turbulent week that I have tried to collect in these pages so that, if you ever see yourself in a similar situation, you at least know what to expect. This is my story, but it could also be yours, or that of any other because, after all, who has not ever needed the occurrence of an extraordinary event, the crossing of an unexpected and grandiloquent event, to take a step forward in your life? Who hasn't required a little outside help to jump into an unattainable-looking dream? Don't wait any longer and join me in this original adventure set in the Malasaña neighborhood! Not every day there is a moai waiting for you!

Book Description
Excerpt from The Mystery of Easter Island: The Story of an Expedition In dealing with the main topic of the work, an endeavour has been made to give some idea of the problem of Easter Island as the Expedition found it, and also of its work there. With regard to this part, some appeal is necessary to the understanding kind ness of the reader, for it has not been an easy tale to tell, nor one which could be straightforwardly recounted. The story of Easter is as yet a tangled skein. The dim past, to which the megalithic works bear witness - the island as the early voyagers found it - its more recent history and present state, all of these are intermingled threads, none of which can be followed without reference to the remaining clues. For those who would have preferred more scientific and fewer personal details, I can only humbly say wait, there is another volume in prospect with descriptions and dimensions of some two hundred and sixty burial-places on the island, thousands of measurements of statues, and other really absorbing matter. The numerical statements in the present book, dealing with archaeological remains, must be considered approximate till it has been possible to go again through the large collection of notes. It is fairly obvious why the writing of this story has fallen to the share of the sole feminine member of the Expedition. I had also, what was, in spite of all things, the good fortune to be fourteen weeks longer on the island than my husband. They were fat weeks too, when the first lean ones, with their inevitable difficulties, were past and the unsettlement towards the end had not arrived. He has, I need hardly say, given me every assistance with this wvork. Generally speaking, all things which it is possible to touch and handle, buildings, weapons, and orna ments, were in his department while things of a less tangible description, such as religion, history, and folk-lore fell to my lot. Those who know him will recognise his touches throughout, and the account of the last part of the voyage, after my return to England, has been written by him.
