Mardi: and A Voyage Thither, Vol. I

   MARDI: AND A VOYAGE THITHER

   BY HERMAN MELVILLE

   IN TWO VOLUMES

   VOL. I


   1864


   DEDICATED TO My Brother, ALLAN MELVILLE.



   Preface

   Not long ago, having published two narratives of voyages in the Pacific, which, in many quarters, were received with incredulity, the thought occurred to me, of indeed writing a romance of Polynesian adventure, and publishing it as such; to see whether, the fiction might not, possibly, be received for a verity: in some degree the reverse of my previous experience.

   This thought was the germ of others, which have resulted in Mardi. New York, January, 1849.
