Herman Melville

The Apple-Tree Table, and Other Sketches (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The various prose sketches here reprinted were first published by Melville, some in Harper's and some in Putnam's magazines, during the years from 1850 to 1856. 'Hawthorne and His Mosses,' the only piece of criticism in this collection, is particularly interesting viewed in the light of Melville's friendship with Hawthorne while they were neighbors at Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The other sketches cover a variety of homely subjects treated by Melville with a fresh humor, richly phrased and curiously personal. Longer and in some ways more ambitious prose pieces written about this same time have been collected under the title of 'Piazza Tales,' but none of the sketches which follow have heretofore been gathered into a book. This has now been done not only to answer a growing demand for accessible reprints of Melville's work but also in response to the literary appeal of the sketches themselves. The author's phraseology and punctuation have, of course, been, followed exactly.

Autorenporträt

Bhí Herman Melville (1819-1891) ina úrscéalaí Meiriceánach, ina scríbhneoir gearrscéalta agus ina fhile. Is fearr aithne ar Moby-Dick, a chuid oibre, rinne a chuid oibre iniúchadh ar théamaí cinniúint, obsession, agus streachailt na daonnachta in aghaidh an dúlra. Cé nach bhfuil sé aitheanta den chuid is mó le linn a shaoil, meastar anois go bhfuil Melville ar cheann de na húdair is mó Meiriceánach.
