NOVEL by: Herman Melville","description":"Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life is the first book by American writer Herman Melville, published first in London, then New York, in 1846. Considered a classic in travel and adventure literature, the narrative is partly based on the author's actual experiences on the island Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands in 1842, liberally supplemented with imaginative reconstruction and adaptation of material from other books. The title is from the province Tai Pi Vai. Typee was Melville's most popular work during his lifetime; it made him notorious as the \"man who lived among the cannibals Typee is \"in fact, neither literal autobiography nor pure fiction\". Melville \"drew his material from his experiences, from his imagination, and from a variety of travel books when the memory of his experiences were inadequate.\" He departed from what actually happened in several ways, sometimes by extending factual incidents, sometimes by fabricating them, and sometimes by what one scholar calls \"outright lies\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herman Melville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1542630584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781542630580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Herman Melville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938312716543,"sku":"9781542630580","price":11.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_15e78e8c-62b8-4557-97d1-24410b4bede5.jpg?v=1681434962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/typee-novel-by-herman-melville-9781542630580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
