The novel by Herman Melville draws on the author’s personal experiences as a crew member of a ship in the Pacific and colorfully depicts the life of a sailor in the 19th century. In the vastness of Polynesia and aboard a whaling ship, the main character experiences various adventures. He also comes into contact with mutineers, deserters, but also natives. Will he escape imprisonment and get to Tahiti?
