Book excerpt: Presented as narratives of his own South Sea experiences, Melville's first two books had roused incredulity in many readers. Their disbelief, he declared, had been "the main inducement" in altering his plan for his third book, 'Mardi: and a Voyage Thither' (1849). Melville wanted to exploit the "rich poetical material" of Polynesia and also to escape feeling "irked, cramped, & fettered" by a narrative of facts. "I began to feel . . . a longing to plume my pinions for a flight," he told his English publisher.Font used in this annotated edition is Baskerville - 12.

Book excerpt: Herman Melville (1819 – 1891) was an American poet and novelist of the American Renaissance, best known for his allusive adventure novel “Moby-Dick.” “Mardi: And a Voyage Thither,” the third book of the author, dives deep into the pure fiction territory. As the ideological successor to “Typee” and “Omoo,” it tells the story of an American sailor who decided to explore the South Pacifi c. This time Melville masterfully injects the elements of romance, philosophical refl ections, and satire, revealing his writer talent in all its glory.

Book excerpt: We were now voyaging straight for Maramma; where lived and reigned, in mystery, the HighPontiff of the adjoining isles: prince, priest, and god, in his own proper person: great lord paramountover many kings in Mardi; his hands full of scepters and crosiers.Soon, rounding a lofty and insulated shore, the great central peak of the island came in sight;domineering over the neighboring hills; the same aspiring pinnacle, descried in drawing near thearchipelago in the Chamois."Tall Peak of Ofo!" cried Babbalanja, "how comes it that thy shadow so broods over Mardi;flinging new shades upon spots already shaded by the hill-sides; shade upon shade!""Yet, so it is," said Yoomy, sadly, "that where that shadow falls, gay flowers refuse to spring; andmen long dwelling therein become shady of face and of soul. 'Hast thou come from out the shadowsof Ofo?' inquires the stranger, of one with a clouded brow.""It was by this same peak," said Mohi, "that the nimble god Roo, a great sinner above, camedown from the skies, a very long time ago. Three skips and a jump, and he landed on the plain. Butalas, poor Roo! though easy the descent, there was no climbing back.""No wonder, then," said Babbalanja, "that the peak is inaccessible to man. Though, with a strangeinfatuation, many still make pilgrimages thereto; and wearily climb and climb, till slipping from therocks, they fall headlong backward, and oftentimes perish at its base.""Ay," said Mohi, "in vain, on all sides of the Peak, various paths are tried; in vain new ones are cutthrough the cliffs and the brambles: - Ofo yet remains inaccessible.""Nevertheless," said Babbalanja, "by some it is believed, that those, who by dint of hard strugglingclimb so high as to become invisible from the plain; that these have attained the summit; thoughothers much doubt, whether their becoming invisible is not because of their having fallen, andperished by the way.""And wherefore," said Media, "do you mortals undertake the ascent at all? why not be content onthe plain? and even if attainable, what would you do upon that lofty, clouded summit? Or how canyou hope to breathe that rarefied air, unfitted for your human lungs?""True, my lord," said Babbalanja; "and Bardianna asserts that the plain alone was intended forman; who should be content to dwell under the shade of its groves, though the roots thereofdescend into the darkness of the earth. But, my lord, you well know, that there are those in Mardi, who secretly regard all stories connected with this peak, as inventions of the people of Maramma.They deny that any thing is to be gained by making a pilgrimage thereto.

Book excerpt: Mardi, and a Voyage Thither is the third book by American writer Herman Melville, first published in London in 1849. Beginning as a travelogue in the vein of the author's two previous efforts, the adventure story gives way to a romance story, which in its turn gives way to a philosophical quest.OverviewMardi is Melville's first pure fiction work (while featuring fictional narrators; his previous novels were heavily autobiographical). It details (much like Typee and Omoo) the travelings of an American sailor who abandons his whaling vessel to explore the South Pacific. Unlike the first two, however, Mardi is highly philosophical and said to be the first work to show Melville's true potential. The tale begins as a simple narrative, but quickly focuses upon discourse between the main characters and their interactions with the different symbolic countries they encounter. While not as cohesive or lengthy as Moby-Dick, it shares a similar writing style as well as many of the same themes.As a preface to Mardi, Melville wrote somewhat ironically that his first two books were nonfiction but disbelieved; by the same pattern he hoped the fiction book would be accepted as fact.StyleInfluence of Rabelais and SwiftThe voyage from island to island echoes Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, especially the last two books. According to scholar Newton Arvin, "The praise of eating and drinking is highly Rabelaisian in intention, and so in general is all the satire on bigotry, dogmatism, and pedantry. Taji and his friends wandering about on the island of Maramma, which stands for ecclesiastical tyranny and dogmatism, are bound to recall Pantagruel and his companions wandering among the superstitious inhabitants of Papimany; and the pedantic, pseudo-philosophi of Melville's Doxodox is surely, for a reader of Rabelais, an echo of the style of Master Janotus de Bragmardo holding forth polysyllabically to Gargantua in Book I."[1] Arvin also recognizes the influence of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, "there is something very Swiftian in Melville's Hooloomooloo, the Isle of Cripples, the inhabitants of which are all twisted and deformed, and whose shapeless king is horrified at the straight, strong figures of his visitors from over sea..."..Herman Melville (August 1, 1819

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mardi is, unlike Melville's typically autobiographical novels, a work of pure fiction.

What is new, however, is Mardi’s highly philosophical touch.
