Clarel: a Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land

Clarel: a Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land

Herman Melville

Northwestern University Press
2008
nidottu
Melville’s long poem Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land (1876) was the last full-length book he published. Until the mid-twentieth century even the most partisan of Melville’s advocates hesitated to endure a four-part poem of 150 cantos and almost 18,000 lines about a naive American named Clarel, on pilgrimage through the Palestinian ruins with a provocative cluster of companions. But modern critics have found Clarel a much better poem than was ever realized. Robert Penn Warren called it a precursor of The Waste Land. It abounds with revelations of Melville’s inner life. Most strikingly, it is argued that the character Vine is a portrait of Melville’s friend Nathaniel Hawthorne. Clarel is one of the most complex theological explorations of faith and doubt in all of American literature, and this edition brings Melville’s poem to new life.

Moby-Dick is an 1851 novel by Herman Melville. The story tells the adventures of the wandering sailor Ishmael and his voyage on the whaling ship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Often considered the embodiment of American Romanticism, Moby-Dick was first published by Richard Bentley in London on October 18, 1851 in an expurgated three-volume edition titled The Whale, and later as one massive volume, by New York City publisher Harper and Brothers as Moby-Dick; or, The Whale on November 14, 1851. This a photo-mechanical reprint of that edition. The first line of Chapter One-"Call me Ishmael."-is one of the most famous in literature. Although the book initially received mixed reviews, Moby-Dick is now considered one of the greatest novels in the English language and has secured Melville's place among America's greatest writers.

Israel Potter

Israel Potter

Herman Melville

Penguin Classics
2008
pokkari
Melville's eighth book was begun as a simple rewrite of an obscure little narrative entitled "Life and Remarkable Adventures of Israel R. Potter", in which Israel tells the story of his sad fall from Revolutionary hero to London peddler. Following its opening chapter Melville's novel retells that tale, with close adherence to the language and events of the Life, and then, shaking free of the original narrative, alternately moves between invented episodes and historical sources unrelated to the Life. "Israel Potter" is unique among Melville's books. It is the only one to be offered in the guise of literal biography, the tale presuming to offer an accurate life history of the man Israel Potter who did in fact fight at Bunker Hill. It is also Melville's only historical novel: it presents famous men of the American Revolution - Benjamin Franklin, John Paul Jones, Ethan Allen, and others - in situations that are a matter of historical record.

Mardi - og en rejse dertil

Mardi - og en rejse dertil

Herman Melville

Forlaget Bindslev / Dingbat

sidottu
En navnløs sømand og hans kammerat stikker af fra en hvalfanger og forsvinder ud på det endeløse Stillehav med kurs vestpå. Efter utallige strabadser når de til eventyrlandet Mardi, der ligger som et ukendt stjernebillede bag et mælkehvidt rev. Men Herman Melvilles Mardi er andet og mere end en spændingsroman. Den er en moderne saga, en vesterlandsk Tusind og én Nat, hvor læseren møder et mylder af statsmænd og galninge, diktatorer og psykopater: den manio-depressive Donjalolo, snobberne på Pimminee og advokaterne på Minda foruden den civiliserede verdens slavehandlere, amerikanske politikere og Paven selv. Mardi er en verdensomsejling med dramatiske hændelser, satiriske scener og mageløst ømme beskrivelser af havdybder og landskaber, mennesker og dyr. De omkring tyve digte, som indgår i Melvilles store roman, er gendigtet af lyrikeren Peter Laugesen.
