Story1
Herman Melville’s novel The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade (1857) is a comedy of masquerades and a blend of allegory, cultural satire, and metaphysics. The book portrays a confidence man who sneaks on board a Mississippi steamboat on April Fool's Day, and sets out to defraud his fellow passengers. He rapidly assumes various guises and the pleasure of trickery seems more important than the monetary gain. Each person is forced to confront that in which they believe.

Story0
Based on Melville's real-life experiences after having jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands, his first novel was extremely popular, provoking public skepticism until the events within were corroborated by a fellow castaway. Typee is properly considered a work of fiction, as the three weeks stay on which the author based his story is here extended to four months, and the book is supplemented with imaginative reconstruction and adaptation of material from other Pacific exploration books of the time. The title refers to the province of Tai Pi Vai.

Chosen for inclusion in William Evans Burton's Cyclopediae of Wit and Humor of 1857, The Lightning-Rod Man was the one Melville tale to be available throughout his lifetime, thanks to reissues of this volume. More a parable than a character-driven story, the Lightning-Rod man is a charlatan who tries to profit by selling fearful people lightning-rods during thunderstorms. The narrator has a difficult encounter with the Lightning-Rod man in this story about overcoming fear and superstition.

Story0
The Encantadas (or Enchanted Isles) is a series of 10 descriptive sketches, and a reminiscence from Melville's sailor days revealing the ecologically pristine Galapagos Islands as both enchanting and horrifying. Containing some of Melville's most memorable prose, The Encantadas was a critical success at a time when Melville's fortunes were down. After publication, the New York Dispatch cited the chapters as universally considered among the most interesting papers of that popular magazine, and each successive chapter was read with avidity by thousands.

Written as an introductory story to The Piazza Tales, the protagonist of The Piazza idealizes a radiant spot on the mountain that he looks upon from his piazza. Traveling to the spot he realizes it is a house, occupied by the unhappy girl Marianna, who longs to see the lucky individual who lives in the white house she looks upon from her window. The narrator realizes he has been the object of a fantasy like his own, and leaves thinking how all idealism is an illusion.

Bannadonna is an eccentric artist and architect who dreams up plans for a magnificent bell tower. After receiving approval from the city, Bannadonna happily begins construction, but local citizens begin to notice strange occurrences associated with the bell-tower, and complaints eventually reach the city magistrates. While touring the magistrates around the tower, Bannadonna shows off his work and readily answers their questions, but one curiosity remains unanswered—what lies beneath the shroud in the bell-tower.

Auf den Ozeanen herrscht Krieg zwischen dem "Empire" und der "Grande Nation". Bei der Rekrutierung von Schiffspersonal gehen die Soldaten Ihrer Majestät nicht wählerisch vor und verpflichten jeden Mann, den sie in die Finger bekommen können. Als Glücksgriff hierbei erweist sich ein junger Bursche namens Billy Bud, der über Erfahrung auf einem Handelsschiff verfügt und aufgrund seiner physischen Stärke an Bord der "Indomitable" eine Karriere im Mannschaftsgrad beginnt. Seine blendende Erscheinung und seine offene sympathische Art verschaffen ihm die Spitznamen Baby Bud und "Hübscher Matrose".

Ein Hausbesitzer in der Fast-Wildnis überlegt sich, auf welcher Seite am besten eine Veranda angebaut werden sollte und entscheidet sich nach reiflicher Abwägung für die Nordseite, von welcher er die beste Sicht auf einen Bergkamm hat, in dessen Schatten er die Konturen eines Gebäudes wahrnimmt, welches eine unerklärliche Faszination auf ihn ausübt. Gegen jede Vernunft folgt er einem inneren Drang, um seine entfachte Neugierde zu stillen und bricht zum Ort seiner Sehnsucht auf, doch dieser Weg birgt große Gefahren, die überstanden, hohe Risiken, die eingegangen und unbekannte Pfade, die begangen werden müssen.

Das Geschäft mit der Angst blüht nach wie vor: Angst vor Veränderungen, vor Andersdenkenden, vor Andersaussehenden, vor angeblicher Unsicherheit, vor Krieg, vor Spekulationsblasen, vor Eliten, vor anderen Religionen, vor anderen Kulturen, vor Verschwörungen und Geheimbünden, vor Tschihadisten an jeder Ecke und der Allgegenwart der russischen Mafia, vor anderen Meinungen, Standpunkten und natürlich immer im Namen der Wahrheit.

With disparate settings such as a Massachusetts farmhouse and the strange volcanic clime of the Enchanted Isles, this six-story anthology features some of Herman Melville’s most exceptional works. Included here is “Bartleby,” the dark tale of a Wall Street clerk who possesses a confounding and disarmingly passive insubordination; and “Benito Cereno,” in which the captain of a whaler boards a tattered Spanish slave ship in South America only to be drawn into an intricately plotted mutiny.
