Book excerpt: Presented as narratives of his own South Sea experiences, Melville's first two books had roused incredulity in many readers. Their disbelief, he declared, had been "the main inducement" in altering his plan for his third book, 'Mardi: and a Voyage Thither' (1849). Melville wanted to exploit the "rich poetical material" of Polynesia and also to escape feeling "irked, cramped, & fettered" by a narrative of facts. "I began to feel . . . a longing to plume my pinions for a flight," he told his English publisher.Font used in this annotated edition is Baskerville - 12.

Download or read book Mardi: And A Voyage Thither written by Herman Melville and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the extended and annotated edition including an extensive biographical annotation about the author and his life. Mardi is Melville's first pure fiction work (while featuring fictional narrators, his previous novels were heavily autobiographical). It details (much like Typee and Omoo) the travelings of an American sailor who abandons his whaling vessel to explore the South Pacific. Unlike the first two, however, Mardi is highly philosophical and said to be the first work to show Melville's true potential. The tale begins as a simple narrative, but quickly focuses upon discourse between the main characters and their interactions with the different symbolic countries they encounter. While not as cohesive or lengthy as Moby-Dick, it shares a similar writing style as well as many of the same themes. (from wikipedia.com)

Book excerpt: Mardi, and a Voyage Thither is the third book by American writer Herman Melville, first published in London in 1849.

It details (much like Typee and Omoo) the travelings of an American sailor who abandons his whaling vessel to explore the South Pacific. Unlike the first two, however, Mardi is highly philosophical and said to be the first work to show Melville's true potential. The tale begins as a simple narrative, but quickly focuses upon discourse between the main characters and their interactions with the different symbolic countries they encounter. While not as cohesive or lengthy as Moby-Dick, it shares a similar writing style as well as many of the same themes.As a preface to Mardi, Melville wrote somewhat ironically that his first two books were nonfiction but disbelieved; by the same pattern he hoped the fiction book would be accepted as fact.StyleInfluence of Rabelais and SwiftThe voyage from island to island echoes Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, especially the last two books. According to scholar Newton Arvin, "The praise of eating and drinking is highly Rabelaisian in intention, and so in general is all the satire on bigotry, dogmatism, and pedantry. Taji and his friends wandering about on the island of Maramma, which stands for ecclesiastical tyranny and dogmatism, are bound to recall Pantagruel and his companions wandering among the superstitious inhabitants of Papimany; and the pedantic, pseudo-philosophi of Melville's Doxodox is surely, for a reader of Rabelais, an echo of the style of Master Janotus de Bragmardo holding forth polysyllabically to Gargantua in Book I."[1] Arvin also recognizes the influence of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, "there is something very Swiftian in Melville's Hooloomooloo, the Isle of Cripples, the inhabitants of which are all twisted and deformed, and whose shapeless king is horrified at the straight, strong figures of his visitors from over sea..."..Herman Melville (August 1, 1819

Book excerpt: We were now voyaging straight for Maramma; where lived and reigned, in mystery, the HighPontiff of the adjoining isles: prince, priest, and god, in his own proper person: great lord paramountover many kings in Mardi; his hands full of scepters and crosiers.Soon, rounding a lofty and insulated shore, the great central peak of the island came in sight;domineering over the neighboring hills; the same aspiring pinnacle, descried in drawing near thearchipelago in the Chamois."Tall Peak of Ofo!" cried Babbalanja, "how comes it that thy shadow so broods over Mardi;flinging new shades upon spots already shaded by the hill-sides; shade upon shade!""Yet, so it is," said Yoomy, sadly, "that where that shadow falls, gay flowers refuse to spring; andmen long dwelling therein become shady of face and of soul. 'Hast thou come from out the shadowsof Ofo?' inquires the stranger, of one with a clouded brow.""It was by this same peak," said Mohi, "that the nimble god Roo, a great sinner above, camedown from the skies, a very long time ago. Three skips and a jump, and he landed on the plain. Butalas, poor Roo! though easy the descent, there was no climbing back.""No wonder, then," said Babbalanja, "that the peak is inaccessible to man. Though, with a strangeinfatuation, many still make pilgrimages thereto; and wearily climb and climb, till slipping from therocks, they fall headlong backward, and oftentimes perish at its base.""Ay," said Mohi, "in vain, on all sides of the Peak, various paths are tried; in vain new ones are cutthrough the cliffs and the brambles: - Ofo yet remains inaccessible.""Nevertheless," said Babbalanja, "by some it is believed, that those, who by dint of hard strugglingclimb so high as to become invisible from the plain; that these have attained the summit; thoughothers much doubt, whether their becoming invisible is not because of their having fallen, andperished by the way.""And wherefore," said Media, "do you mortals undertake the ascent at all? why not be content onthe plain? and even if attainable, what would you do upon that lofty, clouded summit? Or how canyou hope to breathe that rarefied air, unfitted for your human lungs?""True, my lord," said Babbalanja; "and Bardianna asserts that the plain alone was intended forman; who should be content to dwell under the shade of its groves, though the roots thereofdescend into the darkness of the earth. But, my lord, you well know, that there are those in Mardi, who secretly regard all stories connected with this peak, as inventions of the people of Maramma.They deny that any thing is to be gained by making a pilgrimage thereto. And for warranty, theyappeal to the sayings of the great prophet Alm

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herman Melville (born Melvill;[a] August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851); Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. Although his reputation was not high at the time of his death, the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival, and Moby-Dick grew to be considered one of the great American novels. Melville was born in New York City, the third child of a prosperous merchant whose death in 1832 left the family in dire financial straits.

Beginning as a travelogue in the vein of the author's two previous efforts, the adventure story gives way to a romance story, which in its turn gives way to a philosophical quest.Herman Melville[a] (August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. His best known works include Typee (1846), a romantic account of his experiences in Polynesian life, and his whaling novel Moby-Dick (1851). His work was almost forgotten during his last thirty years. His writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change. He developed a complex, baroque style: the vocabulary is rich and original, a strong sense of rhythm infuses the elaborate sentences, the imagery is often mystical or ironic, and the abundance of allusion extends to Scripture, myth, philosophy, literature, and the visual arts.
