Synopsis "Complete Shorter Fiction (Everyman's Library (Cloth))"

 Herman Melville (1819-91) brought as much genius to the smaller-scale literary forms as he did to the full-blown novel: his poems and the short stories and novellas collected in this volume reveal a deftness and a delicacy of touch that is in some ways even more impressive than the massive, tectonic passions of Moby-Dick. In a story like "Bartleby, the Scrivener" -- one of the very few perfect representatives of the form in the English language -- he displayed an unflinching precision and insight and empathy in his depiction of the drastically alienated inner life of the title character. In "Benito Cereno," he addressed the great racial dilemmas of the nineteenth century with a profound, almost surreal imaginative clarity. And in Billy, Budd, Sailor, the masterpiece of his last years, he fused the knowledge and craft gained from a lifetime's magnificent work into a pure, stark, flawlessly composed tale of innocence betrayed and destroyed. Melville is justly honored for the epic sweep of his mind, but his lyricism, his skill in rendering the minute, the particular, the local, was equally sublime.(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

El libro es tal como yo lo imaginaba. Everyman's Library es una estorial de lujo: los libros son de tapa dura con encuadernación de tela, también tienen un papel protector que los protege. Ya habia comprado anteriormente esta editorial, por eso ya sabia lo que me esperaba. En cuanto a lo demás, todo muy bien. Tardo en llegar pero es comprensible debido a esto del virus y sumado a que el libro viene de EE.UU. Super recomendable la pagina y el libro.
