Notă biografică

Herman Melville (1819-91) became in his late twenties a highly successful author of exotic novels based on his experiences as a sailor - writing in quick successionTypee,Omoo,RedburnandWhite-Jacket. However, his masterpieceMoby-Dickwas met with incomprehension and the other later works which are now the basis of his reputation, such asBartleby, the ScrivenerandThe Confidence-Man, were failures. Melville stopped writing fiction and the rest of his long life was spent first as a lecturer and then, for nineteen years, as a customs official in New York City. He was also the author of the immensely long poemClarel,which was similarly dismissed. At the end of his life he wroteBilly Budd, Sailorwhich was published posthumously in 1924.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Contains one long brain-muddling, soul-bewildering ambiguity, like Melchisedeck, without beginning or end - a labyrinth without a clue - an Irish bog without so much as a Jacko 'the' lantern to guide the wanderer's footsteps - the dream of a distempered stomach, disordered by a hasty supper on half-cooked pork chops.
