To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Like Doctor Dulcamara, he gave his wares an exciting title, and trusted to Providence for the rest.
The enchantment worked. The mystic ca- bala of " Omoo, by the author of Typee," was enough in itself to turn any common novel-reader's brain, and the books went ofl' as well as a collection of magic rings would in Germany, or the latest batch of Agnus Deis in an Italian village. People had little opportunity of judging of their truth.
Remote scenes and savage actors gave a fine opportunity for hi...gh coloring and exagger- ated outline, of which Mr. Melville was not slow to avail himself, and hence Fayaway is as unreal as the scenery with which she is surrounded.
We do not blame Mr. Melville for these deviations from truth. It is not much mat- ter if South Sea savages are painted like the heroes of a penny theatre, and disport them- selves amid pasteboard groves, and lakes of canvas. We can afibrd Mr. Melville full license to do what he likes with " Omoo " and its inhabitants ; it is only when he pre- sumes to thrust his tragic Fantoccini upon us, as representatives of our own race, that we feel compelled to turn our critical ^gis upon him, and freeze him into'silence.
