About this book

The sequel to Typee follows its narrator's rambling adventures across the islands of the South Pacific after escaping the Typee valley, drifting among beachcombers, sailors, and native kingdoms in a sun-soaked chronicle of idleness and misrule. Melville mixes comedy, keen observation, and pointed satire of colonial and missionary influence on Polynesian life. Looser and more roguish than its predecessor, Omoo captures the freewheeling world of the nineteenth-century Pacific with charm and irreverence. An entertaining travelogue of wandering and mischief in a vanishing island world, it confirmed Melville's early fame as the great romancer of the South Seas.

About the author

Herman Melville

Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American writer who drew heavily from his own experiences as a merchant sailor and whaler in the Pacific. He produced novels, short stories, and poetry that examined moral complexity and the sea, though he remained relatively obscure during his lifetime and saw renewed recognition only after his death.
