Encyclopedia > Omoo

Omoo was Herman Melville's sequel to Typee, and, as such, was also nonfiction. After leaving Nuku Hiva, the main character ships aboard a whaling vessel which makes its way to Tahiti, after which there is a mutiny and the majority of the crew are imprisoned on Tahiti. The book follows the actions of Melville as he explores Tahiti and remarks on their customs and way of life.

Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas
It would be difficult to imagine a man better fitted to describe the impressions such a life and scenes are calculated to call forth, than the author of Omoo.
Yet [Typee and Omoo] are unmistakably defective if not positively diseased in moral tone, and will very fairly be condemned as dangerous reading for those of immature intellects and unsettled principles.
