Recently
finished the book by Herman Melville Typee. It was his first book but
nevertheless the one that won him his greatest lifetime fame.
Typee is no Moby-Dick but it is a classic and not just a children’s
classic. It is also an adventure. One reads Typee and life suddenly shows a new
vista … adventure is possible: Eden is real!
The book is
a narrative of a four-month sojourn among primitive South Sea Islanders. In it
Melville combines his own extraordinary personal experiences with later
intensive research to produce a vivid and imaginative work. The Polynesian
tribal life is shown very vividly in its exotic fascination. So if you want to share this experience, read Typee!
