Melville's short stories are masterpieces. The best are to be appreciated on more than one level and those here are presented with rich symbolism and spiritual depth. Set in 1797, Billy Budd, Foretopman the exploits of tension this period during the war between England and France to create a tale of satanic treachery, tragedy and great pathos that explores human relationships and the inherently ambiguous nature of man-made justice.
Tales such as Bartleby, Benito Cereno, The Lightning Rod Man, The Tartarus Maids of or I and My Offload show the timeless poetic power of Melville's writing as he consciously uses the disguise of allegory in various ways and to various ends.
Other Stories include:
Poor man's Pudding
Rich man's Crumbs
The Paradise of Bachelors
Benito Cereno
The Apple-Tree Table or Original Spiritual Manifestations
