Eutopia set on an island in the South Pacific where Melville was held captive. It depicts the happy, seemingly innocent natives, who are also cannibals, and thus resonates with both Michel Montaigne\&$\#$39;s (1533-92) \"De Cannibales\" (1580) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau\&$\#$39;s (1712-78) argument against civilized behavior. Melville\&$\#$39;s Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas (1847) was presented as a sequel,\ but it has little that can be called utopian.\ See also his 1849\ Melville.
