We have more books available by this author!. 281 pp. Four short novels in one volume: Benito Cereno; Billy Budd Foretopman; Bartleby; The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles. "For many people the shorter novels of Herman Melville have been lost in the gigantic shadow of his universally recognized masterpiece Moby Dick. Yet the short novels in this volume written after his popularity had begun to wane actually represent the peak of Melville's artistic development. The compelling story line the profound symbolism the brilliant character delineation are all in evidence and there is a tightness and precision in these stories of which the author had not been capable before. Billy Budd the last of Melville's works is considered by many scholars to be his greatest. Bantam paperback books

We have more books available by this author!. xi 504 pp. "Based on Melville's experiences as a common seaman aboard the frigate USS United States from 1843 to 1844 and stories that other sailors told him the novel is severely critical of virtually every aspect of American naval life and thus qualifies as Melville's most politically strident work. At the time though the one thing that journalists and politicians focused on in the novel was its graphic descriptions of flogging and the horrors caused by its arbitrary use; in fact because Harper & Bros. made sure the book got into the hands of every member of Congress White-Jacket was instrumental in abolishing flogging in the U.S. Navy forever. Melville scholars also acknowledge the huge number of parallels between White-Jacket and Billy Budd and view the former as a rich source for possible interpretations of the latter. The symbolism of the color white introduced in this novel in the form of the narrator's jacket is more fully expanded upon in Moby-Dick where it becomes an all-encompassing "blankness." The mixture of journalism history and fiction; the presentation of a sequence of striking characters; the metaphor of a sailing ship as the world in miniature Quality Paperback Book Club paperback books
