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.

  Omoo   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Melville was in a good mood when he wrote "Omoo", no doubt enjoyed looking back on a very pleasurable period of his still-young life.
While it is true that "Omoo" wasn't nearly as successful as "Typee" had been, it is still an impressive work for a young man in his mid-twenties.
Omoo means a rover or one who wanders from island to island.

 §22. "Typee; Omoo". VII. Fiction II. Vol. 15. Colonial and Revolutionary Literature; Early National Literature, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
But though little is known of Melville’s actual doings in the South Seas, it is at least clear that Typee and Omoo are no more as truthful as Two Years before the Mast than they are as crisp and nautical as that incomparable classic of the sea.
Omoo, as a sequel, has not the freshness of Typee, nor has it such unity.
Typee, indeed, is Melville at all but his best, and must be classed with the most successful narrations of the exotic life; after seventy years, when the South Pacific seems no longer another world, the spell holds.

Burr did not have a protective posterity...Historians, as a result, have found Burr to be a man of mystery, and...nearly all have insisted that he had no political philosophy to compare with or rank alongside of Jefferson and Hamilton and the other traditional "founding fathers"....The record clearly shows that this assumption is ridiculous.

 Herman Melville: Typee, Omoo, Mardi (Library of America)
Herman Melville: Typee, Omoo, Mardi (Library of America)
Like the hero-narrator of Typee and Omoo, Melville shipped out on a whaler, jumped ship in exotic ports, was held captive by native tribes—though here he might have exaggerated his own exploits a bit—and escaped to find passage home in the service of the United States Navy.
Melville details the misadventures of the unruly and overworked crew of the Australian trader Julia after they are imprisoned for insubordination; the story will perhaps surprise today’s readers with its humor.

 Omoo, Herman Melville   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Melville's second book, Omoo, begins where his first book, Typee, left off.
Whitman praised its "good-natured style." But many reviewers doubted Melville's veracity, and some objected to his "raciness" and "indecencies." Some also denounced his criticism of missionary endeavors, for his attacks on missionaries were more polemical than those undertaken in the earlier book.
Omoo, however, influenced later visitors to Tahiti such as Pierre Loti, Henry Adams, John La Farge, and Jack London; it was the book that sent Robert Louis Stevenson to the South Seas.
