Story2
Considerada una obra maestra de la narración corta, Bartleby, el escribiente constituye una pieza anticipatoria de la literatura existencialista y del absurdo. A través del protagonista, un escribiente que se enfrenta a las demandas de la realidad con una inquietante respuesta, «preferiría no hacerlo», el estoicismo, la ironía, el humor y el sordo desasosiego alegórico presente en la obra del Melville se aúnan para expresar la obstinación del ser humano en su afán de obtener respuesta a las grandes preguntas o, al menos, seguir buscándolas.

Call me Ishmael. These three famous words begin one of America's most epic novels, a tale of one obsessed captain, his doomed crew, and an elusive white whale named Moby-Dick. The massive original, however, can be very hard for young listeners to navigate. This beautifully abridged and adventure-filled version will thrill children and whet their appetite for the complete work - when they are ready to tackle it.

On an island off the coast of Chile, Captain Amaso Delano, sailing an American sealer, sees the San Dominick, a Spanish slave ship, in obvious distress. Capt. Delano boards the San Dominick, providing needed supplies, and tries to learn from her aloof and disturbed captain, Benito Cereno, the story of how this ship came to be where she is. Dealing with racism, the slave trade, madness, the tension between representation and reality, and featuring at least one unreliable narrator, Melville's novella has both captivated and frustrated critics for decades. (Summary by Nullifidian)

A deeply influential novel from one of America's greatest authors, White-Jacket presents a view of life aboard a 19th-century navy ship that is equal parts humorous and sobering. Published a year before his masterpiece Moby-Dick, White-Jacket is based on Herman Melville's own experiences aboard the USS United States from 1843 to 1844.

If you don't know Melville's letters to Hawthorne, you don't know Melville. These letters are full of passion, humor, doubt, and spiritual yearning, and offer an intimate view of Melville's personality. Lyrical and effusive, they are literary works in themselves. This correspondence has been out of print for decades, and even when it was in print it appeared in scholarly volumes of Melville's complete correspondence, aimed at the academy.

Story1
Un avvocato, il suo studio, i suoi due impiegati, un giovanissimo fattorino, e infine l'arrivo di un terzo impiegato, pallido, scialbo in modo singolare: Bartleby. Bartleby si presenta come un impiegato modello, il primo ad arrivare e l'ultimo ad andare via (apparentemente), ligio al dovere, praticamente alieno ad ogni sorta di distrazione; copia gli atti legali. Sembra non fare altro. Sembra non volere fare altro. Sembra non amare fare altro. Forse non sa fare altro? Bartleby è "un'eterna sentinella nel suo angolo".

In 1797, young Billy Budd is impressed into naval service. It is a perilous time for a British Royal Navy still reeling from mutinies and marauding French ships. When Billy is forcibly transferred to HMS Bellipotent, he evokes the wrath of John Claggart, the ship's Master-at-arms. Claggart falsely accuses Billy of conspiracy to mutiny, a charge that will have a profound effect on the fates of both seamen.

Bartleby the Scrivener A Story of Wall Street is a captivating short story by Herman Melville that delves into the complexities of human nature and the modern work environment. First published anonymously in Putnams Magazine in two parts between November and December of 1853, this thought-provoking tale was later reprinted in Melvilles collection, The Piazza Tales, in 1856 with some minor changes. The narrative, inspired in part by Melvilles engagement with Emersons philosophies, resonates with themes of individuality and societal expectations. The story has also been adapted for the screen ...

Story1
With the same vigor he brought to examining man's relationship with nature (and himself) in Moby Dick, Herman Melville turns inward in this deeply textured novella of an unknowable soul, his effect on those who encounter him, and how little we really understand about our fellow creatures. Melville's deft touch in dialogue and description evoke a Wall Street of another age, but lay bare ageless and difficult truths about being. To hear this timeless tale, and to return to it, is to be enriched and prodded at the same time.
