from The Herman Melville Library · host Herman Melville
In which an acquaintance of Marquesan birth facilitates a rare passage into the queen’s precincts, revealing a curious mingling of native simplicity and foreign splendour amidst the court’s intimate, yet elusive, surroundings. In which the impulse for the sea grows irresistible, and after careful negotiation, the narrator embarks once more aboard the somewhat ill-fated Leviathan, leaving behind the island’s hospitality and familiar faces for the vast and open Pacific.
