Omschrijving

Great American Short Novels is a collection of some of the most celebrated works of Herman Melville, one of the most prominent American authors of the 19th century. The book includes five of Melville's most famous short novels, including Bartleby, The Scrivener, Benito Cereno, Billy Budd, Sailor, The Piazza Tales, and The Encantadas. Each of these works is a masterpiece in its own right, exploring themes of morality, justice, and the human condition. Bartleby, The Scrivener is a haunting tale of a copyist who refuses to work, while Benito Cereno is a gripping story of a slave revolt on a ship. Billy Budd, Sailor is a tragic tale of a young sailor who is falsely accused of mutiny, and The Piazza Tales is a collection of short stories that showcase Melville's skill as a storyteller. The Encantadas is a series of sketches that describe the Galapagos Islands in vivid detail, providing a glimpse into Melville's fascination with nature and the natural world. Overall, Great American Short Novels is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature and the works of one of its most important authors. Melville's prose is masterful, his characters are complex and compelling, and his stories are timeless classics that continue to resonate with readers today.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
