Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life

Average rating
4 out of 5
Based on 802 Ratings and 100 Reviews

Book Description
Once the most popular of Melville's works, Typee was known as a travelogue that idealized and romanticized a mysterious South Sea island for readers in the ruthless, industrial, "civilized" world of the nineteenth century. But it is also a fast-moving adventure tale, an autobiographical account, an examination of good and evil, and a frank exploration of sensuality.
