from The Herman Melville Library · host Herman Melville
In which the captive mariners, displayed as curiosities to the insatiably inquisitive Tahitians, observe with keen lament the scars of endemic maladies and customs peculiar to the islands, whilst enduring their own confinement with a mixture of patience and wry amusement. And in their enforced sojourn, they experience the nuanced hospitality of the natives, the sting of hunger, and the momentary lightness of earthly pleasures amidst the weight of their captivity.
