Résumé

Tommo e Toby sono due giovani e avventurosi marinai che abbandonano la nave su cui stanno viaggiando e fuggono nella giungla di un'isola della Polinesia francese. L'ebrezza della fuga sarà però di breve durata perché i due finiranno dritti nelle grinfie dei Typee, una temibile tribù di cannibali.Herman Melville (1819-1891) fu uno scrittore americano, noto soprattutto per "Moby Dick", il monumentale romanzo sulla caccia alle balene, all'epoca poco apprezzato ma oggi considerato uno dei grandi classici della letteratura mondiale.

Auteur

Herman Melville (auteur)

Melville was born into a wealthy family in New York City but faced financial difficulties after his father's death. He married Elizabeth Shaw and had a close relationship with his siblings. Melville's education was interrupted by his father's death, but he showed promise as a student. He worked as a clerk and a school teacher before embarking on a voyage at sea, which inspired his first successful novels, "Typee" and "Omoo." Melville's later works, such as "Moby-Dick" and "Billy Budd," were not as well-received during his lifetime. He faced personal struggles and experienced a decline in popularity, but his works have since been recognized as significant contributions to American literature.
