Hola, me llamo Finn y voy a ayudarte a entender este libro.

Aquí está, explicado como si tuvieras 10 años:

Un joven marinero está harto de su barco ballenero, así que en una isla verde del Pacífico se escapa con su amigo Toby. Suben a un valle escondido en poder de los typee, un pueblo al que otros isleños temen como comedores de hombres. Los typee lo alimentan, le cuidan la pierna lastimada y lo dejan nadar y festejar con ellos. Pero no lo dejan marcharse. ¿Es un huésped bienvenido, o un prisionero en el paraíso?
