About the book

Herman Melville's Typee is based partly on the author's experiences in the Marquesas Islands. A young sailor escapes from a whaling ship and finds himself living among the people of the Typee Valley. The book combines adventure, travel writing and criticism of Western assumptions about supposedly "civilised" and "primitive" societies.
