Omoo: Adventures in the South Seas
By Herman Melville
Length11h 25m
About this audiobook
A group of restless sailors deserts their ship to wander the lush landscapes of Tahiti, only to find themselves entangled in colonial tensions and mutinous plots. This semi-autobiographical romp through the South Seas captures the vibrant chaos of life on the edge of civilization. It is a spirited, cynical, and often humorous look at the reality behind the romanticized island life.
