Israel Potter: his fifty years of exile(1885), by: Herman Melville
ISBN: 9781530624386 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Based on the life of an actual soldier who claimed to have fought at Bunker Hill, Israel Potter is unique among Herman Melville's books: a novel in the guise of a biography. In telling the story of Israel Potter's fall from Revolutionary War hero to peddler on the streets of London, where he obtained a livelihood by crying "Old Chairs to Mend," Melville alternated between invented scenes and historical episodes, granting cameos to such famous men of the era as Benjamin Franklin (Potter may have been his secret courier) and John Paul Jones, and providing a portrait of the American Revolution...

Journals: Volume Fifteen
ISBN: 9780810108233 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 683 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume presents Melville's three known journals.

The editors supply full annotations of Melville's allusions and...

Moby-Dick
ISBN: 9780553213119 / Angielski / Miękka (mass market paperbound / 1981 / 670 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. No American masterpiece casts quite as awesome a shadow as Melville's monumental Moby Dick. Mad Captain Ahab's quest for the White Whale is a timeless epic--a stirring tragedy of vengeance and obsession, a searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity. It is the greatest sea story ever told. Far ahead of its own time, Moby Dick was largely misunderstood and unappreciated by Melville's contemporaries. Today, however, it is indisputably a classic. As D.H. Lawrence wrote, Moby Dick -commands a stillness in the soul, an awe . . . It is] one of the...

One cannot account for the success of his early romances by saying that in the Great South Sea he had found and worked a new field for romance, since evidently it was not his experience in the South Sea that had led him to romance, but the irresistible attraction that romance had over him that led him to the South Sea. He was able not only to feel but to interpret that charm, as it never had been interpreted before, as it never has been interpreted since." - Eulogy Editorial in the New York Times, 1891 The life and legacy of Herman Melville have taken on various...

Onboard the Fidele, a steamboat floating down the Mississippi to New Orleans, a confidence man sets out to defraud his fellow passengers.

Making very little from his hoaxes, the pleasure of trickery seems an end in itself for this slippery conman. Is he the Devil? Is his chicanery merely intended to expose the mercenary concerns of those around him? Set on April Fool's...
