Omoo was Herman Melville's sequel to Typee, and, as such, was also nonfiction. After leaving Nuku Hiva, the main character ships aboard a whaling vessel which makes its way to Tahiti, after which there is a mutiny and the majority of the crew are imprisoned on Tahiti. The book follows the actions of Melville as he explores Tahiti and remarks on their customs and way of life.
