Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herman Melville's second book, Omoo, begins where his first book, Typee, leaves off. As the author described the book, "It embraces adventures in the South Seas (of a totally different character from 'Typee') and includes an eventful cruise in an English Colonial Whaleman (a Sydney Ship) and a comical residence on the island of Tahiti." The popular success of Melville's first book encouraged him to write this sequel, hoping it would be "a fitting successor" to Typee, which delineates Polynesian life "in its primitive state, " while Omoo represents it "as affected by intercourse with the whites" and also "describes the 'man about town' sort of life, led, at the present day, by roving sailors in the Pacific."Wait Whitman found Omoo "the most readable sort of reading" and praised its "richly good-natured style." But many reviewers doubted the author's veracity and some objected to his "raciness" and "indecencies." Some also denounced his criticism of missionary endeavors, for Melville returned inOmoo to the attack upon the missionaries he had begun in Typee, making his second book more polemical than his first. Over the years, however, readers have been charmed by both books. The reading of Omoo influenced such later visitors to Tahiti as Pierre Loti, Henry Adams, John LaFarge, and Jack London; it was the book that sent Robert Louis Stevenson to the South Seas.

Download or read book Pierre, Or The Ambiguities written by Herman Melville and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ambiguities indeed! One long brain-muddling, soulbewildering ambiguity (to borrow Mr. Melville's style), like Melchisedeck without beginning or end - a labyrinth without a clue - an Irish bog without so much as a Jack o' th'-lantern to guide the wanderer's footsteps - the dream of a distempered stomach, disordered by a hasty supper on half-cooked pork chops". So judged the New York Herald when Pierre was first published in 1852, with most contemporary reviewers joining in the general condemnation: "a dead failure", "this crazy rigmarole", and "a literary mare's nest". Latter-day critics have recognized in the story of Melville's idealistic young hero a corrosive satire of the sentimental-Gothic novel, and a revolutionary foray into modernist literary techniques. As William Spengemann writes in his introduction to this edition, "For anyone who, being aware of the culture of modernity, is curious about its origins, Pierre ranks with Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner, ' Carlyle's Sartor Resartus, Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter, and the poems of Emily Dickinson as one of the privileged places where the dead past can be seen giving way inexorably to the living present".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotations This book is unique because it contains a literary criticism that was made by Juan Acevedo If I were, for example, a reviewer of manuscripts of a publisher, and they asked me to make a report about the possibility of publishing Moby Dick, I would answer something similar to this: "It has great possibilities, but is wasted." Review almost completely: save the first 50 pages, the last 100, and a few in between (whaling, etc.), throw the rest. " Then, surely, Moby Dick would be published in another publishing house, it would become a cult work and I would be fired and ridiculed. What can we do. What happens with Moby Dick is that we have in our heads something like the "Disney version" of the novel: the fierce struggle of a satanic and monomaniac captain, in his pursuit of a no less satanic animal, the great white whale, counted all for a beginner sailor, Ismael. Well, yes, that's there, but fundamentally in (sorry for the autocita) "the first 50 pages, the last 100, and a few in between." The rest, the remaining 400 pages, are a kind of Grand encyclopedia of the cetology, which presents the zoological classification of the whales, their physiology, habits, the tools used to hunt them, the functions of each member of the crew of a whaler ... All this is not without its interest, especially now that it surrounds the aura of the old, the artisan and even the politically incorrect; but of course it is not what one expects when taking a novel, and it is certainly not what people mention when they mention Moby Dick (which leads me to wonder how many people have really read this work). Fortunately, the reader always has the supreme authority to skip those pages that do not interest him, in search of the narrative passages. And there is no doubt that these narrative passages contain great aspects: if a redacted version of Moby Dick was published (something that has always seemed an aberration, to be sure), we would have an exciting novel, full of romanticism, fatalism and darkness. The character of Ahab, the scene of the harpoon forge or the final chase are memorable; the initial pages are also very funny, in which the inexperienced Ismael tries to enlist in a whaler, and is sleeping embraced by a savage tattooed in a bed of 90.
