MP3 Audio CD. Herman Melville, acclaimed 19th century British novelist, began expressing his enormous talent in 1846 through his first novel, Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life. Together with his second novel written the following year and entitled Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas, he established his initial style, which was factual, albeit involving fictitious narrators.His third book, however, Mardi: And a Voyage Thither, broke the pattern to reveal the author?s true potential through a blend between maritime adventure, romantic endeavors and philosophical insight presented in a manner uniquely reflective of Melville?s depth and insight.The book, published in 1849, was Melville?s first attempt at an entirely fictional story, paving the way toward Moby Dick, which would only be written two years later.The story focuses on narratives based on the author?s own exploits and adventures as a sailor on the South Seas. In his own words, it was an attempt to respond to the disbelief that his…

WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
