Mardi And A Voyage Thither is a novel written by Herman Melville, first published in 1849. The book follows the journey of a young American sailor named Taji, who sets out on a voyage to explore the mysterious and exotic island of Mardi with his friend, a Polynesian prince named Yillah. Along the way, they encounter a variety of strange and fascinating characters, including a group of cannibals, a tribe of beautiful women, and a wise philosopher who challenges their beliefs about life and the universe.As Taji and Yillah travel deeper into Mardi, they begin to unravel the secrets of the island and its inhabitants, and they are forced to confront their own fears and desires. The novel is a complex exploration of themes such as identity, morality, and the search for meaning in life. Melville's vivid descriptions of the landscape and culture of Mardi create a rich and immersive reading experience, and his philosophical musings on the nature of existence make the book a thought-provoking work of literature.Strange to relate, it was not till my Viking, with a rueful face, reminded me of the fact, that I bethought me of a circumstance somewhat alarming at the first blush. We must push off without chart or quadrant; though, as will shortly be seen, a compass was by no means out of the question. The chart, to be sure, I did not so much lay to heart; but a quadrant was more than desirable. Still, it was by no means indispensable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
