Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Partly based on the author's actual experiences on the island Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands in 1842, Herman Melville's story of Tommo, the Yankee sailor who enters the flawed Pacific paradise of Nuku Hiva, is a fast-moving adventure tale.
Presenting an idealized and romanticized version of South Sea life, this travelog examines the nature of good and evil and frankly explores sensuality and exotic ritual.
