From Wikipedia

Typee (1846; in full: Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life) is American writer Herman Melville's first book, partly based on his actual experiences as a captive on Nuku Hiva (which Melville spelled as Nukuheva) in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands. The title comes from the name of a valley there called Tai Pi Vai. It was Melville's most popular work during his lifetime.

This is my first attempt at creating a nicely formatted ebook, so please let me know what you do/don't like about it. I included a fully linked TOC as well as linked endnotes. I also went through and tried to catch all formatting errors and missing italicization, but could easily have missed some.

I read this in college! It was a course on Melville, and we read his novels. You could see the progression up to Moby Dick.
