Benito Cereno is a short novel by American writer Herman Melville, first published in 1855. The story, set in 1799, tells of Captain Amasa Delano's encounter with a seemingly troubled Spanish ship, the San Dominick, and his encounter with Captain Benito Cereno. As Delano tries to help, he discovers a series of mysterious and disturbing events that lead him to question the true nature of the situation aboard the ship.
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.
