Beschreibung

First published in 1847, Omoo is Herman Melville's vibrant and adventurous sequel to his debut novel, Typee, drawing once again on the author's own experiences in the South Seas.

The story follows a restless American sailor who deserts a whaling ship and wanders through the exotic islands of the Pacific. Set primarily in Tahiti and neighboring regions, the novel presents a lively account of island life, colonial influence, and the often-uneasy encounters between Western visitors and indigenous cultures. Through humor, sharp observation, and spirited storytelling, Melville depicts both the beauty of the islands and the corruption brought by foreign exploitation and rigid missionary control.

Blending travel narrative with fiction, Omoo offers an unromanticized view of seafaring life and challenges popular notions of civilization and savagery. Melville's narrative voice is witty, candid, and deeply curious, revealing his growing concern with freedom, authority, and cultural misunderstanding—themes that would later define his more complex works.

Colorful, engaging, and thought-provoking, Omoo stands as an essential early work in Melville's career and a compelling exploration of adventure, independence, and life beyond the boundaries of Western society.

    Ophelia, a professor of Dante, is stricken when she discovers that her husband Andy has been cheating on her with a winsome colleague. What follows is Ophelia' s figurative descent into hell as she obsessively tracks her subjects, performs surveillance in her beat-up Volvo, and moves into the property next door to Amber' s, which has gone into foreclosure. She spies on the lovers, growing more and more estranged from reality. Andy' s betrayal reawakens the earlier trauma of abandonment by her mother at the age of eight. When Andy and Amber become engaged, Ophelia snaps. The story is a jailhouse confessional, a dark comedy, an oeuvre of women' s rage, a suspenseful revenge fantasy, and a moving portrait of one woman' s psychological breakdown.

    Love is supposed to be happily ever after, but I don’t buy it. 
    I thought I’d found my perfect guy… twice. Five years ago, I walked in on Number One with my ex-best friend. This morning, the day I was supposed to marry Number Two, I found him banging the wedding planner. 
    Wedding’s off, and I’m done spending so much time trying to make myself perfect for the right guy. I’m almost forty and it’s time I lived life for me. 
    Fortunately, my brother’s (super sexy) best friend, and the stripper from my bachelorette party, are there for me. From hot balooning to getting down and dirty in the hay, they’re happy to help me check things off my bucket list. 
    It’s a good thing I’ve sworn off love, or I’d find myself falling for two men again. At the same time. But I know better than to make that mistake again.
