Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas is the second book by American writer Herman Melville, first published in London in 1847, and a sequel to his first South Seas narrative Typee, also based on the author's experiences in the South Pacific.
Herman Melville's second novel, Omoo (1847), typical of his early works, is a somewhat unsettled blend of imaginative yarn and docu mentary materials, a loose and open kind of literary text.
It is based on Nathaniel Philbrick's 2000 non-fiction book In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, about the sinking of the American whaling ship Essex in 1820, an event that in part inspired Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick.

Omoo, novel by Herman Melville, published in 1847 as a sequel to his novel Typee. Based on Melville’s own experiences in the South Pacific, this episodic novel, in a more comical vein than that of Typee, tells of the narrator’s participation in a mutiny on a whale ship and his subsequent wanderings.
