Esta edición de Ediciones Cátedra presenta tres obras maestras de Herman Melville: 'Bartleby, el escribiente', 'Benito Cereno' y 'Billy Budd'. En estas narraciones, Melville explora temas de opresión, aislamiento y la condición humana a través de personajes y situaciones que operan en múltiples niveles literarios y filosóficos. El estilo distintivo de Melville, que incluye la omnisciencia del narrador, perspectivas contrastadas y rupturas formales, se combina para crear una profunda indagación metafísica.

Herman Melville was an American writer of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia, and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was not well known to the public, but 1919, the centennial of his birth, was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick would eventually be considered one of the Great American Novels.
