Typee by Herman Melville Book Review
This is life before THE FALL. Typee by Herman Melville. Imagine life on a tropical island of paradise. The breadfruit hangs thick in the bows of verdant trees. Fresh water springs are lined with herbs and vegetables. Complete harmony with nature. No taboo in the family. No taboo in the tribe.
If New Earth (The New Kingdom), is not exactly like what Herman Melville describes in this exciting book, then I don’t know what to tell you.
If this isn’t heaven, how would you describe it?
Cannibalism with secret society ConneXion. Typee by Herman Melville
Life before THE BEAST, “Euro-Colonialism” – The Pilgrims, banksters, boaters, bullshitters, were somehow able to steal everybody’s land, claim sovereignty over everything, rewrite all our history, change times and laws, create value out of debt, and sell resources that are NOT THEIRS.
Have a nice swim in the LAKE OF FIRE.

Highlight: Why, it was really refreshing even to think of it; and so I straightway fell to picturing myself seated beneath a cocoa-nut tree on the brow of the mountain, with a cluster of plantains within easy reach, criticizing her nautical evolutions as she was working her way out of the harbour.

Highlight: When I remembered that these islanders derived no advantage from dress, but appeared in all the naked simplicity of nature, I could not avoid comparing them with the fine gentlemen and dandies who promenade such unexceptional figures in our frequented thoroughfares. Stripped of the cunning artifices of the tailor, and standing forth in the garb of Eden, — what a sorry set of round-shouldered, spindle-shanked, crane-necked varlets would civilized men appear!

Highlight: This marvellous whiteness of the teeth is to be ascribed to the pure vegetable diet of these people, and the uninterrupted healthfulness of their natural mode of life.

Highlight: The juice of the “papa” root, found in great abundance at the head of the valley, is held in great esteem as a cosmetic, with which many of the females daily anoint their whole person. The habitual use of it whitens and beautifies the skin.
