NOTES
Based on Melville's travels in the Society Islands of the South Pacific, Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas is told by an unnamed narrator who boards a whaling vessel bound for Tahiti. The narrator becomes involved in a mutiny and afterward is imprisoned on the island of Tahiti. His observations of the island, its way of life and the customs of the natives follow. Omoo" is the sequel to Melville's hugely successful Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life, and was adapted into the 1949 exploitation film Omoo-Omoo, The Shark God
