Description

This rollicking adventure story launched Melville’s literary career and became an instant classic. Neither straight autobiography nor pure fiction, "Typee" is based on three weeks Melville spent on the South Pacific’s Marquesas Islands—both as an explorer and as the captive of a band of natives. The book features lush tropical landscapes, daring escapes, sea-borne adventure and (of course) encounters with cannibals. "Typee" was Melville’s most famous work during his lifetime and is today still regarded as a first-rate tale of adventure and exploration.
