Small octavo 7 1/2" x 5 1/4" Original blind stamped plum cloth gilt title to spines Harpers gilt logo at base of spine with yellow coated end-papers in a three quarter leather in custom made half leather over marbled boards slipcase. BAL 13658 First American edition.<br /><br /><i>Mardi</i> the Polynesian word meaning "the world" is Melville's first pure fiction work while featuring fictional narrators his previous novels were heavily autobiographical. It details much like <i>Typee</i> and <i>Omoo</i> the travelings of an American sailor who abandons his whaling vessel to explore the South Pacific. Unlike the first two however <i>Mardi </i>is highly philosophical and said to be the first work to show Melville's true potential. The tale begins as a simple narrative but quickly focuses upon discourse between the main characters and their interactions with the different symbolic countries they encounter. While not as cohesive or lengthy as <i>Moby-Dick</i> it shares a similar writing style as well as many of the same themes.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Plumb coloring has faded and spine sunned with gilt dulled some foxing through out corners bumped with some light rubbing previous owner's name in pencil on title else about very good in a fine slipcase.

Melville Herman
Mardi: and A Voyage Thither
NY: Harper & Brothers 1849. Two octavo volumes. 365; 387pp. 8pp. ads. First American edition. Mardi was Melville's third book and his third on the theme of South Pacific exploration. In the novel an American sailor deserts his whaling ship in order to pursue his own adventures. At the time of its publication Mardi was considered a critical failure but it is now viewed by many as the first novel in which Melville began to develop his characteristic voice as a writer. Bound in blue-green T cloth elaborately blind-stamped with gilt title to spine. Corners faintly rubbed tiny hole to head of spine and slight dampstain to lower front cover on Volume I occasional foxing throughout as usual. Despite these very minor faults this is still a very bright and nearly fine set. The Skiff-Doheny copy with their bookplates. BAL 13658. Harper & Brothers unknown

Volume I is in Blanck's TZ cloth with orange-yellow coated endpapers whereas Volume II is in A cloth with yellow coated endpapers. The stamping on Volume I is a simpler pattern than that on Volume II. Volume II's binding is the earlier corresponding to that described by Blanck in the "Note" contained in the entry. Stenciled in brown ink in gothic letter on the front free endpaper of Volume I is the name "Thomas Melville." Though we cannot be sure this volume could have belonged to one of the author's brothers who lived between 1830 and 1884. Harper & Brothers , New York hardcover
