4''Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life'' is the first novel by Creator/HermanMelville, published in 1846. Considered a classic in travel and adventure literature, the narrative is partly based on Melville's actual experiences on the island Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands in 1842, liberally supplemented with imaginative reconstruction and adaptation of material from other books. ''Typee'' was Melville's most popular work during his lifetime; it made him notorious as the "man who lived among the cannibals."
