About This Item
Melville Slip cased volume I. This great American author romances of the South Seas, of whaling, exotic ports, cannibals, strange cultures, and other fascinating aspects of the nineteenth century in far off lands, the fictional material of these novels being at least partly autobiographical in nature.
This first volume of The Library of America's three-volume edition of the complete prose works of Herman Melville includes three romances of the South Seas. Typee and Omoo, based on the young Melville's experiences on a whaling ship, are exuberant accounts of the idyllic life among the "cannibals" in Polynesia. They remained his most popular works well into the 20th century. Mardi ("the world" in Polynesian) is a mixture of love story, adventure, and political allegory, set on a mythical Pacific island, that looks forward to the complexities of Moby-Dick. .
