The Piazza Tales

Viac o knihe

Featuring a blend of six short stories, this collection showcases Herman Melville's mastery in the genre. It includes notable works such as "Bartleby, the Scrivener," "Benito Cereno," and "The Encantadas," which highlight themes of isolation, morality, and the allure of nature. The title story, "The Piazza," is a newly written addition, while the other tales were previously published in Putnam's Monthly. This compilation, released in the mid-1850s, underscores Melville's significant contributions to American literature.
