Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas is a sequel to the Sea narrative Typee.

Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. His writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change.
