“How often the term ‘savages’ incorrectly applied ! Non really deserving of it were ever get discovered by voyagers or by traders.... In a primitive state of society the enjoyment of life, the few and simple are spread over a great extent, and are unalloyed ; but civilisation for every advantage imparts holds 100 evils in reserve.... I will frankly declare that after passing a few weeks in this Valley of Marquises, I formed higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained.”(1) If an appeal of this short seems to dedicate for the memories of a seller for the opinions of The Reader who pays his head to such a narrator; it is good to ponder that some issues of civilized life can have more Universal appeal than the life passed in the paradise by Melville. The escape of an ordinary young man from the gray realities that opress his days to the momentary despite of a perfumed and painted paradise is by nature a metaphor for the most common dream of humanity. Nowhere in melville’s writings does he appear so simply the born storyteller as in his first books Typee and Omoo.Rosenberry writes:-- “And he had the good judgement as he pointed out again in both prefaces to avoid the pretensions of philosophical search which was then characteristic of series writers of Travels among barbarous communities. he did insist on an anxious desire to speak the unvarnished to truth but every leader has rejoiced in his irresistible penchant for colour and drama and humour in anlivening all the history and anthropology which he borrowed to embroider his story”(2)
