"It is not down in any map; true places never are."

Notes

The title "Omoo" is derived from the Polynesian word for a rover or wanderer, aptly reflecting the main character's itinerant nature. The novel delves into themes of cultural clash, imperialism, and the complexities of human relationships. Melville draws from his own experiences as a sailor, providing vivid descriptions of the exotic locales and the diverse characters encountered by Tommo. "Omoo" is recognized for its exploration of social and moral issues, showcasing Melville's keen observations and reflective storytelling that characterize much of his literary works.
