Description

An innocent young man is falsely accused of inciting mutiny in this haunting tale. Melville's final novel offers a profoundly moving examination of the balance between authority and individual rights.

About the author

Herman Melville (1819 - 1891) found early success with stories inspired by his adventures in the South Seas. His fortunes declined with the 1851 publication of Moby-Dick, now recognized as a masterpiece but scorned by Melville's contemporaries. The author was obliged to work as a New York City customs inspector and died in obscurity, three decades before the critical reassessment of his work.
