Typee 曾是 Melville 最受欢迎的作品，它作为一本游记，为19世纪残酷、工业化且“文明”的世界的读者理想化并浪漫化了一座神秘的南太平洋岛屿。但 Melville 讲述的 Tommo——这位闯入 Nuku Hiva 这个并非毫无瑕疵的太平洋乐园的美国水手的故事，同时也是一个情节紧凑的冒险故事、作者本人在波利尼西亚逗留的自传式记录、对善恶本质的省思，以及对感官享受与异域风俗的坦诚探索。这个版本的 Typee 还原了定稿文

我今年（也可能是去年底）读过的几本书，真心推荐：- 赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的《Typee: A peep at Polynesian Life》- 索尔·海尔达尔的《Fatu-Hiva, Back to Nature》- 《The lost world: being an account of the recent amazing adventures of Professor E. Challenger, Lord John…
A few books I read this year (or perhaps late last year), and wholeheartedly recommend: - Typee: A peep at Polynesian Life by Herman Melville - Fatu-Hiva, Back to Nature by Thor Heyerdahl - The lost world: being an account of the recent amazing adventures of Professor E. Challenger, Lord John…
梅尔维尔的《Typee》或《Omoo》在书单上吗？我刚把两本都读完，太好玩了。
Is Melville's Typee or Omoo on the list? I've just finished reading both and they are so fun.
……提到康拉德，大家第一反应都不是《诺斯特罗莫》，尽管它比《黑暗的心》或《特务》要优美得多、主题也深邃得多。这就好比大家都以为《Typee》是梅尔维尔最好的作品一样。
…Nostromo isn't the first book that people associate with Conrad, given that it's so much more beautiful and thematically-dense than Heart of Darkness or The Secret Agent. It's like if everyone thought Typee was Melville's best work.
哈！看来就我一个人在读梅尔维尔！我正在看他的第二本书《Omoo》。我上周刚看完《Typee》，《Omoo》算是它的半个续集。
Ha! I'm the only one apparently reading Melville! I'm reading Omoo, his second book. I finished Typee last week and Omoo is the semi-sequel.
早在 19 世纪，赫尔曼·梅尔维尔就在《Typee》中记录了一个表面上很稳定的社会。然而它并非没有暴力——其中有些暴力对大多数读者来说骇人听闻，小说里甚至都只是略微提及。
Back in the 19th century, Herman Melville documented an apparently stable society in Typee. It was however, not without violence -- some of it so appalling to most readers that the novel barely hints at it.
梅尔维尔在写出《Typee》和《Omoo》之后就已经是成名作家了——《白鲸》有点像是披头士的《Sgt Pepper》那种情况。大家都以为会是一部航海故事，结果看到的完全是另一回事。或者想象一下，汤姆·克兰西写了十本杰克·雷恩的书，然后突然写了本《万有引力之……
Melville was already an established author after Typee and Omoo - Moby Dick was sort of like a Sgt Pepper situation. People expected a sea story and they got something quite a bit different. Or imagine if Tom Clancy wrote ten Jack Ryan books and then Gravity's…
