Sinopsis

This book recounts a compelling true story of a sailor's six-month voyage on a whaling ship in the Pacific Ocean. The author, yearning for land after months at sea, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the Marquesas Islands, a remote group known for their unusual inhabitants. Eager to escape the harsh conditions aboard his ship, the author and a fellow sailor embark on a daring escape, seeking refuge in the interior of one of the islands. The author's exploration of the Marquesas Islands, particularly the Typee Valley, provides a rare glimpse into the lives of these little-known people. He delves into their customs and traditions, from their unique social structures and religious practices to their daily lives and interactions with the outside world. While the author is fascinated by their unique way of life, he also examines the impact of European colonization on their culture and the challenges they face. This book, published in the mid-nineteenth century, offers a remarkable firsthand account of a little-explored corner of the world, exposing readers to a captivating and nuanced look at the human condition as experienced by both the indigenous peoples of the Marquesas and the European explorers who encounter them.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life During a Four Months' Residence in a Valley of the Marquesas, With Notices of the French Occupation of Tahiti and the Provisional Cession of the Sandwich Islands to Lord Paulet, and a Sequel, the Story of Toby

The great interest with which the important events lately occurring at the Sandwich, Marquesas, and Society Islands, have been regarded in America and England, and indeed throughout the world, will, he trusts, justify a few otherwise unwarrantable digressions.
