[The author] incisively scrutinizes American confidence that the theological concept of "total depravity" may safely be abandoned. As the Mississippi steamboat Fidele (Faith) goes downriver on April Fool's Day, the Devil, appealing for confidence, engages passengers in dizzying philosophical, social, and religious disquisitions. In 1851, overconfident that Moby-Dick would be popular, [the author] was plunged into debt; and as he wrote [this book], a creditor was threatening to seize his farm. Fundamentalist religious attacks on his earlier books had driven [him] to identify with victims of religious persecution, a bond that would be further strengthened with the publication of [this book].... The text is accompanied by ... new explanatory annotations of biblical, classical, and historical allusions, and many new essays place the book in its ... historical context. --Back cover.

"Redburn charts the coming-of-age of Wellingborough Redburn, a young innocent who embarks on a crossing to Liverpool together with a roguish crew. Once in Liverpool, Redburn encounters the squalid conditions of the city and meets Harry Bolton, a bereft and damaged soul, who takes him on a tour of London that includes a scene of rococo decadence unlike anything else in Melville's fiction."--BOOK JACKET.

Omoo: A Narrative of the South Seas is Herman Melville's sequel to Typee, and, as such, was also autobiographical. After leaving Nuku Hiva, the main character ships aboard a whaling vessel which makes its way to Tahiti, after which there is a mutiny and the majority of the crew are imprisoned on Tahiti. The book follows the actions of the narrator as he explores Tahiti and remarks on their customs and way of life. Many sources incorrectly assert that Omoo is based on Melville's stay in the Marquesas?the novel is, in fact, exclusively based on his experiences in the Society Islands...

Po vypuknutí americké revoluce opustí Izrael svou farmu, bojuje u Bunker Hillu, zúčastní se několika námořních bitev a je dvakráte zajat. Poválečná léta prožívá v bídě mezi londýnskou chudinou. Teprve jako osmdesátiletý stařec se vrací se svým synem do vlasti. Jeho rodný kraj je změněn, nikdo ho již nezná, jeho žádost o pensi je zamítnuta: umírá zklamán a chud. Na osudu Izraela Pottera M. ukázal, že ideály americké revoluce nepřinesly prostým lidem, kteří z ně prolévali svou krev, ani svobodu, ani naději na lepší život. (Podle předml.)

The grandson of Revolutionary War heroes, Melville was born into a family that in the fledgling republic had lost both money and status. Half New Yorker, half New Englander, and toughened at sea as a young man, he returned home to chronicle the deepest crises of his era, from the increasingly shrill debates over slavery through the bloodbath of the Civil War to the intellectual and spiritual revolution wrought by Darwin. Meanwhile, the New York of his youth, where letters were delivered by horseback messengers, became in his lifetime a city recognizably our own, where the Brooklyn Bridge carried traffic and electric lights lit the streets. -http://www.loc.gov/catdir

[Volume 1] closed on a mid-November day in 1851. In the dining room of the Little Red Inn in Lenox, Massachusetts, Melville had just presented an inscribed copy of his new novel, Moby-Dick, to his intimate friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the man to whom the work was dedicated. [This book] chronicles Melville's life in ... detail, from this ecstatic moment to his death, in obscurity, forty years later. [The author] describes the malignity of reviewers and sheer bad luck that doomed Moby-Dick to failure (and its author to prolonged indebtedness), the savage reviews he received for his next book, Pierre, and his inability to have the novel The Isle of the Cross - now lost - published at all. Melville turned to magazine fiction, writing the now-classic "Bartleby" and "Benito Cereno," and produced a final novel, The Confidence-Man, a mordant satire of American optimism. Over his last three decades, while working as a customs inspector in Manhattan, Melville painstakingly remade himself as a poet, crafting the centennial epic, Clarel, in which he sorted out his complex feelings for Hawthorne, and the masterful story "Billy Budd," originally written as a prose headnote to an unfinished poem.-Dust jacket.
