Story0
In those houses which are strictly double houses that is, where the hall is in the middle the fireplaces usually are on opposite sides; so that while one member of the household is warming himself at a fire built into a recess of the north wall, say another member, the former's own brother, perhaps, may be holding his feet to the blaze before a hearth in the south wall the two thus fairly sitting back to back. Is this well? Be it put to any man who has a proper fraternal feeling. Has it not a sort of sulky appearance?

On an island off the coast of Chile, Captain Amaso Delano, sailing an American sealer, sees the San Dominick, a Spanish slave ship, in obvious distress. Capt. Delano boards the San Dominick, providing needed supplies, and tries to learn from her aloof and disturbed captain, Benito Cereno, the story of how this ship came to be where she is.

Story0
The tale is one of the final works of fiction published by Melville before, slipping into despair over the continuing critical dismissal of his work after Moby-Dick, he abandoned publishing fiction. The work is presented here exactly as it was originally published in Putnam's magazine to, sadly, critical disdain.

"Moby-Dick oder Der Wal" (englisch "Moby-Dick or The Whale") ist ein 1851 in London und New York erschienener Roman des amerikanischen Schriftstellers Herman Melville (1819–1891). Das erzählerische Rückgrat des Romans ist die schicksalhafte Fahrt des Walfangschiffes Pequod. Unter dem finsteren Kapitän Ahab kreuzt eine gemischte Mannschaft rauer Walfänger auf ihrem unheimlichen Schiff über die vier Weltmeere. Sie jagen den weißen Wal, den die Seeleute Moby Dick nennen. Moby Dick hat dem Kapitän ein Bein vom Körper gerissen, und nun verfolgt dieser den weißen Wal mit tödlichem Hass.

Story0
"It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it." So Melville wrote of his masterpiece, one of the greatest works of imagination in literary history. In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopaedia of whaling lore and legend, the book can be seen as part of its author's lifelong meditation on America.

Es ist die Geschichte einer absoluten Verweigerung. In der Wall Street-Anwaltskanzlei von Mr. Tucker arbeiten zwei Schreiber und ein Lehrling. Jeder von ihnen hat seine schrulligen Eigenheiten, aber man hat sich aneinander gewöhnt. Da erscheint ein blasser junger Mann: Bartleby. Er wird als Kopist eingestellt und beginnt seine Tätigkeit mit stillem Fleiß und einsiedlerischer Ausdauer. Seine Handschrift ist sauber, er selbst sehr arbeitsam. Aber die Stille, die ihn umgibt, seine Eigenschaftslosigkeit, wird zunehmend immer seltsamer.

"Bartleby": Der Kopist der Anwaltskanzlei Bartleby gibt seinem Chef Rätsel auf. Zuerst glänzt er durch hervorragende Arbeit, dann jedoch beginnt er sich zurückzuziehen und reagiert auf jede Arbeitsanweisung mit dem rätselhaften Satz: "Ich möchte lieber nicht." Herman Melvilles Werk aus dem Jahre 1853 wird als frühe Kapitalismuskritik verstanden und fasziniert noch heute.

Herman Melville August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are "Moby-Dick" (1851); "Typee" (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and "Billy Budd", Sailor, a posthumously published novella. Although his reputation was not high at the time of his death, the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival, and Moby-Dick grew to be considered one of the great American novels.
