Story0
Herman Melville was born in New York City on 1st August 1819. His father died when he was 12, leaving the family in very straitened times. Two years later Melville took a job in a bank and followed up with a failed stint as a surveyor. He went to sea and travelled across to Liverpool and then to the Pacific on adventures. Presented here is perhaps his best known short story, ‘Bartleby, the Scrivener’, an enduring story of a Wall Street lawyer and his very particular assistant.

Es ist die Geschichte einer absoluten Verweigerung. In der Wall Street-Anwaltskanzlei von Mr. Tucker arbeiten zwei Schreiber und ein Lehrling. Jeder von ihnen hat seine schrulligen Eigenheiten, aber man hat sich aneinander gewöhnt. Da erscheint ein blasser junger Mann: Bartleby. Er wird als Kopist eingestellt und beginnt seine Tätigkeit mit stillem Fleiß und einsiedlerischer Ausdauer. Seine Handschrift ist sauber, er selbst sehr arbeitsam. Aber die Stille, die ihn umgibt, seine Eigenschaftslosigkeit, wird zunehmend immer seltsamer.

Zwei meisterhafte Erzählungen aus dem Amerika des 19. Jahrhunderts, die sich mit dem merkwürdigsten Lebewesen von allen beschäftigen: dem Menschen. "Bartleby": Der Kopist der Anwaltskanzlei Bartleby gibt seinem Chef Rätsel auf. Zuerst glänzt er durch hervorragende Arbeit, dann jedoch beginnt er sich zurückzuziehen und reagiert auf jede Arbeitsanweisung mit dem rätselhaften Satz: "Ich möchte lieber nicht." Herman Melvilles Werk aus dem Jahre 1853 wird als frühe Kapitalismuskritik verstanden und fasziniert noch heute.

Herman Melville August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851); Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. Although his reputation was not high at the time of his death, the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival, and Moby-Dick grew to be considered one of the great American novels.

"Omoo" è il secondo romanzo di Melville; è un libro pieno di umorismo, ma anche una favola allegorica sull'incontro e lo scontro fra la civiltà e il mondo incantato delle isole polinesiane. Racconta di una baleniera sgangherata comandata da un capitano incapace, di una ciurma di personaggi squinternati, di ammutinamenti, incarcerazioni, incontri, amicizie e battibecchi con isolani e missionari di ogni genere. Sullo sfondo, la vita di bianchi e indigeni nei Mari del Sud.

Die Kurzgeschichte „Kikeriki oder Das Krähen des edlen Hahnes Beneventano“ von Herman Melville, dem Autor des berühmten „Moby Dick“ wurde 1853 zum ersten Mal veröffentlich. In seiner skurrilen Mischung aus Komik und Tragik, der vielfarbigen, offenen, fast experimentellen Struktur ist der Text bestens dazu geeignet, ihn mit improvisierter Musik zu verbinden. Der Kölner Regisseur und Schauspieler Carl-Herbert Braun hat die Erzählung für den Podcast eingerichtet und eingesprochen, den die beiden Musikerinnen Angelika Sheridan und Ute Völker mit Improvisationen und eigenen ...

Story0
Initially dismissed as "a dead failure" and "a bad book," and declined by Melville's British publisher, "Pierre" has since struck critics as modern in its psychological probings and literary technique fit, as Carl Van Vechten said in 1922, to be ranked with "The Golden Bowl", "Women in Love", and "Ulysses". None of Melville's other "secondary" works has so regularly been acknowledged by its most thorough critics as a work of genuine grandeur, however flawed.

"The Lightning-Rod Man" appeared in 1854, in Putnam's Monthly Magazine no. 20 (August). What grand irregular thunder, thought I, standing on my hearthstone among the Acroceraunian hills, as the scattered bolts boomed overhead and crashed down among the valleys, every bolt followed by zigzag irradiations, and swift slants of sharp rain, which audibly rang, like a charge of spear-points, on my low shingled roof. I suppose, though, that the mountains hereabouts break and churn up the thunder, so that it is far more glorious here than on the plain.

The Piazza Tales is a collection of six short stories by American writer Herman Melville, published by Dix & Edwards in the United States in May 1856 and in Britain in June. Except for the newly written title story, "The Piazza," all of the stories had appeared in Putnam's Monthly between 1853 and 1855. The collection includes what has long been regarded as three of Melville's most important achievements in the genre of short fiction, "Bartleby, the Scrivener", "Benito Cereno", and "The Encantadas", his sketches of the Galápagos Islands.

Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life is the first book by American writer Herman Melville, published first in London, then New York, in 1846. Considered a classic in travel and adventure literature, the narrative is partly based on the author's actual experiences on the island Nuku Hiva in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands in 1842, liberally supplemented with imaginative reconstruction and adaptation of material from other books. The title comes from the valley of Taipivai, once known as Taipi.
