Herman Melville TYPEE

“Typee” by Herman Melville is the masterpiece of the American writer’s youth. It all begins in 1841 when Melville sets sail from the port of New Bedford in Massachusetts on the whaler Acushnet towards the Pacific Ocean. This sparks the inspiration for an incredible sea adventure that guides us to discover the fascinating and enigmatic people of the Typee and their secrets. As the story unfolds, the sense of discovery is gradually accompanied by a creeping sense of threat, and we end up captivated and seduced by this truly unique narrative. “Typee” marks Melville’s literary debut and success, forming an ideal trilogy with “Mardi” and “Omoo,” the writer’s first books, which RRD will publish in the future. This book is the twentieth title of RRD Books, the series that RRD decided to create to pay tribute to its customers with literary masterpieces dedicated to the sea and its adventures.
