Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Melville's actual experiences after having jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands, this work was extremely popular, and provoked disbelief among its readers until the events it described were corroborated by Melville's fellow castaway, Richard Greene. While the book is based on fact, Typee is properly considered a work of fiction: the three week stay on which the author based his story is extended to four months, and Melville drew extensively on contemporary accounts by Pacific explorers to add cultural detail to what might otherwise have been a straightforward story of escape, capture and re-escape.

Book Synopsis Typee: a Romance of the South Seas by : Herman Melville

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Watersgreen House Classic Editions' Herman Melville Collection places Melville's early novels in the canon of gay literature. *"Melville has the strange, uncanny magic of sea-creatures, and some of their repulsiveness. He isn't quite a land animal. There is something slithery about him. Something always half-seas-over. In his life they said he was mad - or crazy. He was neither mad nor crazy. But he was over the border. ...There he is then, in Typee, among the dreaded cannibal savages. And they are gentle and generous with him, and he is truly in a sort of Eden. Here at last is Rousseau's Child of Nature and Chateaubriand's Noble Savage called upon and found at home. Yes, Melville loves his savage hosts. He finds them gentle, laughing lambs compared to the ravening wolves of his white brothers, left behind in America and on an American whaleship. The ugliest beast on earth is the white man, says Melville. In short, Herman found in Typee the paradise he was looking for. It is true, the Marquesans were 'immoral', but he rather liked that. Morality was too white a trick to take him in. ...There they are, these South Sea Islanders, beautiful big men with their golden limbs and their laughing, graceful laziness. And they will call you brother, choose you as a brother." - D.H. Lawrence Typee, a semi-autobiographical work, is Melville's first novel. Like all his work, it is infused with a latent homoeroticism and is important not only as literature but as philosophical, psychological, and anthropological commentary. Most of all, however, it is a fine story that captured the public's imagination and remained one of Melville's most popular works throughout his lifetime.

Book excerpt: "Following the commercial and critical success of his first book, Typee, Herman Melville continued his series of South Seas adventure-romances with Omoo. Melville's second book chronicles the narrator's involvement in a mutiny aboard a South Seas whaling vessel, his incarceration in a Tahitian jail, and then his wanderings as an omoo, or rover, on the island of Eimeo (Moorea). Based on Melville's personal experience as a sailor on a South Pacific whaleship, Omoo is a first-person account of life as a sailor during the nineteenth century, filled with colorful characters and detailed descriptions of the far-flung locales of Polynesia."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War by : Herman Melville
Download or read book Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War written by Herman Melville and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1866 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War (1866) is the first book of poetry published by American author Herman Melville. The volume is dedicated "To the Memory of the Three Hundred Thousand Who in the War For the Maintenance of the Union Fell Devotedly Under the Flag of Their Country" and its 72 poems deal with the battles and personalities of the American Civil War and their aftermath. Critics at the time were at best respectful and often sharply critical of Melville's unorthodox style. The book had sold only 486 copies by 1868 and recovered barely half of its publications costs.[1] Not until the latter half of the twentieth century did Battle-Pieces become regarded as one of the most important group of poems on the American Civil War.

Book Synopsis Bartleby, the Scrivener Illustrated by : Herman Melville
Download or read book Bartleby, the Scrivener Illustrated written by Herman Melville and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" (1853) is a short story by the American writer Herman Melville, first serialized anonymously in two parts in the November and December editions of Putnam's Magazine, and reprinted with minor textual alterations in his The Piazza Tales in 1856. Numerous essays are published on what according to scholar Robert Milder "is unquestionably the masterpiece of the short fiction" in the Melville canon. The writing career of Herman Melville (1819 - 1891) peaked early, with his early novels, such as Typee becoming best sellers. By the mid-1850s his poularity declined sharply, and by the time he died he had been largely forgotten. Yet in time his novel Moby Dick came to be regarded as one of the finest works of American, and indeed world, literature, as was Billy Budd, which was not published until long after his death, in 1924.This version is a desktop production of 39 photocopied computer printed pages. Quite flimsy. While other editions are actual 'paperbacks' as I identify them; they're all going for less. Some, as 'Like New' are going for $.01 in Amazon Marketplace Or new from Amazon for $4.00. Moral of m'story: Amazon has all kinds of great books, movies seemingly most everything else. At all prices. These days, frugality's for everyone except the top 4%. Good idea to check buying choices. I just spent $6 more than I could've/should've/would've spent. As for this fine book itself: Too many Great Writers are ignored because they were first read centuries ago. Melville, Dickens, Mann and many more are out there waiting for us all. Not to mention European authors like Tolstoy, Gogol, Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin... and more incredible, readable and enjoyable Masters. I've trolled Asian authors too and found great reads. All, at Amazon of course.So getting worldly in your reading's right for our millennium and your matter too. Read for not only what's said but how it's said. Those past masters have styles, diction and - for the Masters - brilliant, edifying and entertaining concepts and insights still fitting for today. SO SIX STARS for Bartleby's story and one star for this flimsy edition. Nice cover art, thoug.The five (5) most effective words in the English Language are: "I would prefer not to." In the days before slow down strikes, job actions, featherbedding, etc. Bartleby had it pegged. Show up for work. Do a bit of good work (softening up the employer so to speak), and then proceed to wear said employer down while getting paid, having a rudimentary roof over one's head, etc. It is akin to a sort of nonworking workfare state. Bartleby reminds one of the legendary "George Costanza" who even had a desk customized so that he could avoid work and still be present. I had not read "Bartleby" in at least forty years and in reading it all these decades later, one can appreciate the clear-headed genius of Melville. One even picks up on the mention of "red tape" which is used to [compress] "some papers." And we know that a reference to red tape today infers a situation in which something is tied up in paperwork and bound not to progress. The world of the daily worker has not come very far from Bartleby's world and there are many of us who have been, are and will be Bartlebys. Most of our lives are spent in a condition of wanting to say, "I would prefer not to." To paraphrase Thoreau, the mass of men lead onerous lives.Avendo da sempre molto apprezzato questo racconto di Melville (che consiglio), ho deciso di acquistarlo come regalo per un amico, tuttavia una volta arrivato mi aspettavo qualcosa di più: la qualità è quella di un ebook stampato con una copertina flessibile.das zufallslayout ist eine absolute zumutung. das hat ein betrunkener, der sich noch dazu überhaupt nicht im benutzten programm auskannte (nehme an wohl wörd) layoutiert, per zufall dann noch ein paar bilder hineingeworfen.
