Sobre el libro Billy Budd, Bartleby & Other stories de Herman Melville publicado por Penguin Books LTD al 2016:

Though best-known for his epic masterpiece Moby-Dick, Herman Melville also left a body of short stories arguably unmatched in American fiction. In the sorrowful tragedy of Billy Budd,Sailor; the controlled rage of Benito Cereno; and the tantalizing enigma of Bartleby, the Scrivener; Melville reveals himself as a singular storyteller of tremendous range and compelling power. In these stories, Melville cuts to the heart of race, class, capitalism, and globalism in America, deftly navigating political and social issues that resonate as clearly in our time as they did in Melville´s. Also including The Piazza Tales in full, this collection demonstrates why Melville stands not only among the greatest writers of the nineteenth century, but also as one of our greatest contemporaries...

Sobre Herman Melville

Herman Melville va néixer a Nova York en 1819. Acuitat per la primerenca mort del seu pare i la situació de la seva família, va exercir diversos oficis, entre ells el de mestre i el de mariner a bord de diversos vaixells per l´Atlàntic, el Pacífic i les mars del Sud. Finalment es va establir en terra ferma en 1847. Va acabar els seus dies en 1891 sumit en l´oblit i en la precarietat econòmica.
