the shorter novel of Herman Melville.

For anyone interested in the not-so-often read novellas of Melville, this is a great little collection. The titles include "Benito Cereno," "Bartleby the Scrivener," "The Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles" and "Billy Budd, Foretopman." The introduction is full of information about Melville and gives an excellent overview of the nuances of his work.

    How do you feel about the author? Did reading about him give you any insight on his writing style, morals, or thought processes?
