**"Typee:** A Peep at Polynesian Life" is Herman Melville's first book, published in 1846. It is based on his experiences on the island of Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands in 1842. The narrative combines real experiences with imaginative reconstruction and research. The book was initially met with skepticism, but later corroborated by Melville's fellow castaway. Scholars have questioned the accuracy of Melville's account, but it is still considered a classic in travel and adventure literature. The narrative expresses sympathy for the Polynesian people and criticizes European marauders and missionaries. "Typee" made Melville famous during his lifetime. The book was published in London and New York, with some changes made to the American edition. Melville's writing process and culture have been studied extensively, and the book has been included in various editions and adaptations.
