Typee was an interesting book by Melville. Since you’ve read moby dick it’s pretty obvious that Melville actually spent some time on whaling ships. But he hated whaling so much that he went awol on his first trip and ended up stuck on an island for a while with “cannibals” He wrote Typee based on that real life adventure.

The funny thing about Typee is that was his most famous book while he was alive. Moby Dick did not become popular until after Melville died.

Darth Brooks posted:We were assigned to read that in high school and I was the only one to get through the story. It is a bit of a thick read even for short story and it doesn't have much of a plot other than "Here's this dude who doesn't want to do much. Here's more of the dude who doesn't want to do much. Here's more of the dude who doesn't want to do much. Here's more of the dude who doesn't want to do much. Oh, He died." I modeled my life after that great man
