Synopsis of The Confidence-Man
En el vapor Fidele, que navega por el río Mississippi hacia Nueva Orleans, un estafador se propone defraudar a sus compañeros de viaje. Asume rápidamente numerosos disfraces, desde un mendigo sin piernas y un hombre de negocios mundano hasta un recaudador de causas benéficas y un caballero 'cosmopolita', que simplemente estafa a un barbero con el precio de un afeitado. Sin obtener mucho provecho de sus engaños, el placer del engaño parece ser un fin en sí mismo para este escurridizo estafador. ¿Es él el Diablo? ¿Su engaño está destinado simplemente a exponer las preocupaciones mercenarias de quienes lo rodean? Ambientada el Día de los Inocentes, The Confidence-Man (1857) es una atractiva comedia de mascaradas, digresiones e identidades cambiantes, y una sátira devastadora del sueño americano.

Herman Melville
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.
