Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life

An opportunity to live amongst a native tribe as an honored guest (albeit also a captive) doing nothing but sleeping, eating, documenting and cavorting with the ladies is sadly a thing lost long ago when civilization spread and devoured all adventure. At least we have this book that isn't really a plot driven adventure but a travel journal. Hawthorne takes in and describes with all his sense of life around him and eloquently puts it all down to paper for future sad laptop jockeys with a book fetish like myself to enjoy.
I would have stayed on the island, cannibalism or no.

Just think! A place where ALL spices are Fresh-ground Spices. I don't misdoubt that all the beer was both crafty and IPA.

Shawn, you seen Mutiny on the Bounty? Great movie about life with Tahiti natives among other things. Tahiti ladies performing a mating dance for Brando and crew is a sensational scene. Sorry to go off topic.
