Melville was a schoolteacher for a short time and a seaman. On his first voyage he jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands. His first book, Typee, was an account of that time and became a bestseller and Melville became known as the 'man who lived among the cannibals.' Public indifference to Moby-Dick put an end to his career as a popular author. It was not until the 'Melville Revival' in the early 20th century that his work won recognition. 3
