The Confidence-Man: Volume Ten, Scholarly Edition
ISBN: 9780810103252 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 518 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Long considered Melville's strangest novel, "The Confidence-Man" is a comic allegory aimed at the optimism and materialism of mid-nineteenth century America. A shape-shifting Confidence-Man approaches passengers on a Mississippi River steamboat and, winning over his not-quite-innocent victims with his charms, urges each to trust in the cosmos, in nature, and even in human nature--with predictable results. In Melville's time the book was such a failure he abandoned fiction writing for twenty years; only in the twentieth century did critics celebrate its technical virtuosity, wit, comprehensive...
