Discover a new way to read classics with Quick Read. This Quick Read edition includes both the full text and a summary for each chapter. - Reading time of the complete text: about 9 hours - Reading time of the summarized text: 32 minutes **"Typee:** A Peep at Polynesian Life" is Herman Melville's first book, published in 1846. It is based on his experiences on the island of Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands in 1842.
The narrative combines real experiences with imaginative reconstruction and research. The book was initially met with skepticism, but later corroborated by Melville's fellow castaway. Scholars have questioned the accuracy of Melville's account, but it is still considered a classic in travel and adventure literature. The narrative expresses sympathy for the Polynesian people and criticizes European marauders and missionaries.
"Typee" made Melville famous during his lifetime. The book was published in London and New York, with some changes made to the American edition. Melville's writing process and culture have been studied extensively, and the book has been included in various editions and adaptations.

À propos des auteurs

Melville was born into a wealthy family in New York City but faced financial difficulties after his father's death. He married Elizabeth Shaw and had a close relationship with his siblings. Melville's education was interrupted by his father's death, but he showed promise as a student. He worked as a clerk and a school teacher before embarking on a voyage at sea, which inspired his first successful novels, "Typee" and "Omoo." Melville's later works, such as "Moby-Dick" and "Billy Budd, " were not as well-received during his lifetime.
He faced personal struggles and experienced a decline in popularity, but his works have since been recognized as significant contributions to American literature.
