Sobre este artículo
New York: Dodd, Mead. Hardcover. Fine. Fine and appears unread in dark green half morocco with dark blue cloth, marbled endpapers. Spine faded to a nice shade of dark brown with a hint of the original green. Spine with six gilt ruled compartments, five gilt decorated raised bands, and gilt lettering. Illustrations by Mead Schaeffer. Not a rare copy, but truly beautiful.
Sinopsis
Typee is American writer Herman Melville's first book, partly based on his actual experiences as a captive on Nuku Hiva (which Melville spelled as Nukuheva) in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands and the title comes from a valley there called Tai Pi Vai. It was Melville's most popular work during his lifetime; for 19th century readers his career seemed to go downhill afterwards, but during the early 20th century it was seen as just the beginning of a career that peaked with Moby-Dick (1851).
