PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, appears unused. MELVILLE, HERMAN. Typee: a peep at Polynesian life. Edited by Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, G. Thomas Tanselle. Evanston, Ill.: Northwestern University Press, 2003, Northwestern University Press edition, xii, 271pp., . Almost from the time of its publication in 1846, Melville's first book, based on his own travels in the South Seas, has been recognized as a classic in the literature of travel and adventure. Although initially rejected as too fantastic to be true, Typee was immensely popular and regarded in Melville's lifetime as his best work. It established his reputation as the literary discoverer of the South Seas and inspired the likes of Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson. Two common sailors jump ship and are held in benign captivity by Polynesian natives. Through the narrator's eyes we see a literate (if romanticized) portrait of the people and their culture presented in vivid, even scientific, detail. Melville's racy style and irreverence toward Christian missionaries caused a scandal, and critics denounced the narrator's suggestion that the native life might be superior to that of modern civilization. An adventure story above all, albeit one with a philosophical bent, Typee is a combination of elements that even early in Melville's career hinted at the towering ambition he would fulfill with Moby-Dick. 9780810120525 ISBN 0810120526.

Softcover. Condition: New. 1a.ed., 3a. reimpr. en esta colección. 18x12 cm. Colección El libro de bolsillo. Literatura, 24. 141 p., Rústica. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. Pocos personajes tan insólitos en la historia de la literatura como "Bartleby el escribiente" y también pocos relatos más sugerentes que aquel al que da nombre. Marcada por una lógica propia cuyas consecuencias lleva con obstinación hasta el final y que se encarna en una suerte de resistencia pasiva, la singularidad del protagonista es, por otra parte, irreductible. Escritos todos ellos -«Bartleby» incluido - tras el estrepitoso fiasco comercial que supuso la publicación en 1851 de "Moby Dick", el resto de relatos de Herman Melville (1819-1891) que completan el volumen tienen en común, aparte de su intrínseca belleza y singularidad, ese aire de serena y dichosa resignación de quien discierne entre las derivas externas y la firmeza interior. Se trata de «El fracaso feliz», «La veranda» -preciosa parábola acerca de la fantasía con que investimos las apariencias- y dos relatos tardíos acerca de marinos que finalizan sus días varados en tierra: «John Marr» y «Daniel Orme».

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 465 pages 18 cm ; paperback ; Contents: Bartleby.--Cock-a-doodle-doo!--The Encantades.--The bell-tower.--Benito Cereno.--John Marr.--Billy Budd, sailor.--Daniel Orme. ; ISBN: 0140430296; 9780140430295 ; LC: PZ3.M498; Dewey: 813 ; OCLC: 2110807 ; "Bartleby the Scrivener explores the theme of isolation in American life and the workplace through actual physical loneliness and mental loneliness. Although all of the characters at the office are related by being co-workers, Bartleby is the only one whose name is known to us and seems serious, as the rest of characters have odd nicknames, such as "Nippers" or "Turkey." This excludes him from being normal in the workplace. Bartleby's former job was at the "Dead Letter Office" that received mail with nowhere to go, representing the isolation of communication that Bartleby had at both places of work, being that he was given a separate work area for himself at the lawyer's office. Bartleby begins to never leave the office, but repeats what he does all day long, copying, staring, and repeating his famous words of "I would prefer not to," leading readers to have another image of the repetition that leads to isolation on Wall Street and the American workplace" ; In " The Bell Tower" the architect Bannadonna wants to challenge the laws of nature, building the most beautiful tower of Italy, a new Tower of Babel, with a huge iron bell. The architect is the victim of his own obsession as he sees in man and in his technological knowledge the real God. His creations become the symbols of his crimes. While making the tower he kills one of his employees, his skull will be part of the surface of the bell ; Benito Cereno tells what happens when an American merchant ship comes upon a mysterious Spanish ship where the nearly all-black crew and their white captain are starving and yet hostile to offers of help ; Ib BIlly Budd, In this short history of the impressment and hanging of a handsome sailor-boy are to be discovered problems as profound as those which puzzle us in the pages of the Gospels.' Outwardly a compelling narrative of events aboard a British man-of-war during the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars, Billy Budd, Sailor is a nautical recasting of the Fall, a parable of good and evil, a meditation on justice and political governance, and a searching portrait of three extraordinary men. ; VG.

Rústica. 144 pp. 18 x 13 cm. Como ocurre con demasiada frecuencia, el escritor norteamericano Herman Melville (1819-1891) no alcanzó la fama en vida: su novela más popular, Moby Dick, publicada cuando el escritor contaba poco más de treinta años, pasó casi inadvertida. La mayor parte de sus libros tiene el mar como escenario, pero el genio de Melville trasciende el simple relato marítimo, al utilizar el mundo del mar para ahondar en el enigma de la existencia. no obstante, la acción fluye ágil, el relato capta al lector con fuerza irresistible, la trama no pierde un ápice de realismo ni de credibilidad. Los relatos seleccionados ofrecen un amplio espectro de los temas que obsesionaron a Melville. Benito Cereno es una inmersión en la insondable esencia del Mal, y la escenificación del hundimiento de un mundo ?la esclavitud? y el resurgimiento de otro nuevo. En Billy Budd gravita una atmósfera sombría, fruto del dominio del Mal que triunfa en la Tierra sobre la inocencia, y el relato adquiere un carácter trágico que le da casi el aura de un auto sacramental. Daniel Orme, John Marr y Los «?Gees» pertenecen a sus «sketches» marítimos, ejercicios de estilo donde se gestan los grandes temas de sus obras más ambiciosas. Rústica. 9788434582781.
