Carlos Garcia Palacios was born in Santiago, Chile, on 16 May 1898 and died in Tahiti on 1 May 1970. After studying in Switzerland, he represented his country in Geneva in the International Labour Organisation and the League of Nations. For several years after World War II he was a member of the United Nations Secretariat in New York. He was appointed honorary Chilean consul in Tahiti and spent the rest of his life there. He wrote numerous articles for newspapers and magazines throughout the world.
This is an English translation of a novel written in French in 1960 under the title Tane Api or l'Homme blanc repart toujours. The novel was not published. In his book Tahitiens (Paris, 1962), Father Patrick O'Reilly described it as a philosophic study, light-hearted in appearance, but of a deeper intent, describing the soul of the Tahitian women.
