About the book

Three Stories by Herman Melville brings together shorter works by the author of Moby-Dick, demonstrating his extraordinary range beyond the novel. Melville's stories frequently combine realistic settings with symbolism, psychological tension and philosophical questions. Whether examining conformity, isolation, moral responsibility or the conflict between individuals and society, his shorter fiction reveals the same intellectual depth found in his major novels. Often strange, ambiguous and unsettling, these stories show Melville at his most concentrated and inventive.
