Este libro contiene dos novelas cortas del autor estadounidense Herman Melville. 'Benito Cereno' es una historia basada en hechos reales, documentalmente probados ante los tribunales en un juicio que se hizo célebre. 'Billy Budd, marinero' narra la historia de un joven marinero inocente y puro que se enfrenta a la maldad y la fatalidad en alta mar. Ambas historias exploran temas de moralidad, justicia y la naturaleza humana en el contexto de la vida marítima del siglo XIX.
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.
