paperback. No Jacket. First Edition. New York. 1964. August 1964. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Some Underlining Inside, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers. 0451502388. Afterword By Harrison Hayford. 320 pages. paperback. CP238. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback America Literature 19th Century.… DESCRIPTION - Herman Melville's first book, Typee, the work. that won him his greatest lifetime fame, is a narrative of a four - month sojourn among primitive South Sea Islanders. In it Melville combines his own extraordinary personal experiences with later intensive research to produce a vivid and imaginative work. Shocking his original audience with its frankness, this portrayal of Polynesian tribal life endures as one of exotic fascination, given sharp focus by a narrator drawn to this primitive pattern of existence, yet forced to remain ever alien to it. In this ambivalent vision appears the first evidence of the author's later moral complexities; but here it is an element that remains below the surface of the vigor and color of this, Melville's freshest, most high - spirited achievement. Harrison Hayford declares, 'Typee is no Moby - Dick. - but it is a classic - and not just a children's classic - in its own right.' As Lewis Mumford has written: 'One reads Typee, and life suddenly shows a new vista. Adventure is possible: Eden is real.' inventory #31179 Some Underlining Inside, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Typee is a fast-moving adventure tale, an autobiographical account of the author's Polynesian stay, an examination of the nature of good and evil, and a frank exploration of sensuality and exotic ritual.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature… in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. At one time the most popular of Melville's works, Typee was known as a travelogue that idealized and romanticized a mysterious South Sea island for readers in the ruthless, industrial, "civilized" world of the nineteenth century. But Melville's story of Tommo, the Yankee sailor who enters the flawed Pacific paradise of Nuku Hiva, is also a fast-moving adventure tale, an autobiographical account of the author's own Polynesian stay, an examination of the nature of good and evil, and a frank exploration of sensuality and exotic ritual. This edition of Typee, which reproduces the definitive text and the complete, never-before-published manuscript reading text, includes invaluable explanatory commentary by John Bryant. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
