Books by Herman Melville

Portrait of Herman Melville

Herman Melville stands among the great voices of nineteenth‑century American literature, celebrated for his profound explorations of obsession, morality, and the human struggle against nature. His writing blends adventure with philosophical depth, drawing readers into vividly realised worlds shaped by the sea, commerce, and the restless pursuit of meaning.

Best known for his masterwork *Moby‑Dick*, Melville's legacy also includes finely crafted tales and reflective prose that continue to challenge and inspire. His influence extends far beyond his own era, inviting modern readers to rediscover the timeless questions and rich symbolism that define his remarkable body of work.

    Book SynopsisHerman Melville (1819-1891), escritor estadounidense, regaló al mundo en 1851 su extraordinaria novela Moby Dick, donde se narra el largo viaje del ballenero Pequod conducido por el capitán Ahab, quien arrastra a toda su tripulación en la cacería implacable de una ballena blanca, conocida como Moby Dick. En esta obra encontramos descripciones minuciosas de la vida en el mar, así como también, el claro retrato psicológico de los personajes; vemos al desnudo el alma humana y la convergencia en ella del bien y del mal. ?Moby Dick? es considerada una obra maestra de la literatura norteamericana y la universalidad de su temática ha permitido su vigencia en el tiempo y su adaptación a incontables géneros artísticos. La presente edición contiene ilustraciones de Alejandro Díaz y está presentada en formato de 13,5 x 19 cms, con encuadernación tapa dura y marca páginas de hilo.

    Book SynopsisEncuadernación: RústicaColección: LiteraturaPocos personajes tan insólitos en la historia de la literatura como \"Bartleby el escribiente\" y también pocos relatos más sugerentes que aquel al que da nombre. Marcada por una lógica propia cuyas consecuencias lleva con obstinación hasta el final y que se encarna en una suerte de resistencia pasiva, la singularidad del protagonista es, por otra parte, irreductible. Escritos todos ellos ?Bartleby incluido ? tras el estrepitoso fiasco comercial que supuso la publicación en 1851 de \"Moby Dick\", el resto de relatos de Herman Melville (1819-1891) que completan el volumen tienen en común, aparte de su intrínseca belleza y singularidad, ese aire de serena y dichosa resignación de quien discierne entre las derivas externas y la firmeza interior. Se trata de El fracaso feliz, La veranda ?preciosa parábola acerca de la fantasía con que investimos las apariencias? y dos relatos tardíos acerca de marinos que finalizan sus días varados en tier

    Book SynopsisEncuadernación: RústicaColección: El libro de bolsillo. LiteraturaApenas valorada en el momento de su publicación y olvidada prácticamente después de su muerte, al obra de Herman Melville (1819-1891) ha ido ocupando lentamente y sin ruido en el privilegiado lugar que le corresponde en la historia de la literatura. Ambientada en el mar, como gran parte de su obra, "Benito Cereno", novela breve publicada por entregas en 1855, es una historia que bordea el género de misterio y, por momentos, el de terror. El hallazgo por parte del capitán Amasa Delano de un buque guiado por una tripulación de extraño comportamiento y el medido descubrimiento de aquello que late bajo la inquietante atmósfera que lo rodea hacen de esta obra una de las más logradas y singulares del autor de "Moby Dick", de "Billy Budd, marinero" y de "Bartleby, el escribiente".

    Book SynopsisLlamadme Ismael. Muy pocos personajes literarios hay hoy tan conocidos como la ballena blanca, o Ismael o el capitán Ajab, y probablemente no haya un inicio de novela tan famoso como el de Moby-Dick. Concebida por Herman Melville como respuesta norteamericana a la gran literatura europea de finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX, Moby-Dick recoge la tradición romántica y gótica dando forma a un épico poema que ha llegado a ocupar en Estados Unidos el puesto de gran novela nacional y a ser considerada como la gran epopeya en prosa del mundo occidental contemporáneo.

    Book SynopsisEn 1843, después de tres años en los mares del sur, Melville se enroló en la fragata United States y volvió a América. Un año de travesía sometido a la dura disciplina naval le proporcionó el material de Chaqueta Blanca (1850), un libro hermoso y complejo, mezcla de novela, erudición y reportaje, cuyo subtítulo, El mundo en un buque de guerra, anticipa igualmente su peculiar, intensa y muy melvilleana dimensión alegórica. De las bodegas a las gavias, de las rutinas de limpieza o rancho a las vergonzosas prácticas de flagelación, del tormentoso paso del cabo de Hornos a una calma chicha en el ecuador, el narrador de este viaje no deja rincón sin escudriñar, episodio sin relatar, oficio sin describir.

    Book Synopsis"L'aigua i la meditació resten unides per sempre". Així justifica l'Ismael l'atracció irresistible que sent d'embarcar-se en un balener vers les misterioses mars del Sud. I de mica en mica, aquesta incertesa es va fent més clara: ens trobem davant la lluita personal d'un home, el capità Ahab, contra un animal, la llegendària i ferotge balena blanca Moby Dick. Però per la seva riquesa èpica i pel complex fresc del destí humà que hi retrata, Moby Dick (1851) és més que això. Per les seves pàgines, tenyides tothora d'una atmosfera apocalíptica i fantàstica, hi circula l'etern combat i l'exaltació de la lluita de l'home contra la natura; la contemplació fascinada, a estones altament lírica, de la força cega del mar.

    Book SynopsisEl relat que dïna tïtol a aquest volum de quatre contes, Billy Budd, narra els fets que condueixen un jove carismïtic tripulant d'un barco de la marina britïnica al seu judici i condemna a mort a bord, al llarg d'un processament percebut com injust pel conjunt de la tripulaciï, a pesar de la inexorable aplicaciï de la llei. Per mitjï d'una narraciï mestra, sentim la mateixa empatia dels mariners cap al mïrtir modern Billy Budd. La tensiï tambï domina la coberta d'un barco al conte Benito Cereno, nom del capitï del mercant espanyol devastat que troben uns mariners nord-americans. Alguna cosa d'inquietant hi passa... cosa que sabem en el seu sorprenent desenllaï.Les Encantades ïs un fabulïs relat llarg al voltant de la crua geografia i histïria de les Illes Encantades o Galïpagos, l'arxipïlag de l'oceï Pacïfic on el naturalista Charles Darwin va concebre la teoria de l'evoluciï. Melville, perï, ens en conta extraordinïries histïries desconegudes, com la de l'illa concedida com a pagament a un militar, el qual va governar-la de manera sïdica per mitjï d'un grup de gossos ferotges, fins al punt que van anomenar-lo el Rei Gos. Fora de l'inconfusible i fascinador ambient marï de Melville, aquest volum inclou el cïlebre relat de culte Bartleby, l'escrivent, que protagonitza un personatge d'una peculiar passivitat activa, sintetitzada en la seva frase emblemïtica: "M'estimaria mïs no fer-ho".

    Book SynopsisIf Melville had never written Moby Dick, his place in world literature would be assured by his short tales. 'Billy Budd, Sailor,' his last work, is the masterpiece in which he delivers the final summation in his 'quarrel with God.' It is a brilliant study of the tragic clash between social authority and individual freedom, human justice and abstract good. Melville also explores this theme in 'Bartelby the Scrivener,' his famous story about a Wall Street law clerk who takes passive resistance to a comic—and ultimately disastrous—extreme; and in 'Benito Cereno,' his dazzling account of oppression and rebellion on a nineteenth-century slave ship. Completing this collection of great tales are the eerie 'The Encantados,' the beautiful, romantic 'The Piazza,' and Melville's chilling science fiction parable, 'The Bell-Tower.'

    Book SynopsisUna de las novelas más conocidas de Herman Melville es Benito Cereno, publicada en 1855, y basada en la historia real del español Benito Cerreño, de cuyo buque, el Tryal, se apoderaron en 1804 los esclavos que llevaba por aguas del Pacífico rumbo a Lima, donde esperaba venderlos. En un momento histórico en el que los revolucionarios, primero en Estados Unidos y después en Francia, subrayaban el valor absoluto de la libertad, la esclavitud alcanzaba cifras mucho más elevadas que en los siglos precedentes, planteando, sobre todo en América, la paradoja moral de si libertad era también poder comprar, vender y poseer esclavos. Como señaló Jorge Luis Borges Benito Cereno sigue suscitando polémicas. Hay quien lo juzga la obra maestra de Melville y una de las obras maestras de la literatura.
