Publisher's Synopsis
- Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, Typee is the first and one of the most popular of Herman Melville's novels. It's a fascinating tale of travel and adventure based on Melville's experiences as a captive on a South Pacific island in 1842 after which he became known as 'the man who lived among cannibals'. - Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published well over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of American literature and continues to be widely read and studied throughout the world.- This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
