The short stories of Herman Melville are considered today to be among the small masterpieces of American fiction.

BILLY BUDD, Melville’s posthumously published novella, is a classic tale of innocence, evil, and murder that depicts the rivalry between a simple, handsome young sailor and a demonic superior.

BARTLEBY is the subtly comic tale of an apathetic scrivener, and BENITO CERENO is the story of a Spanish sea captain caught up in a slave revolt on his ship.

Included in this volume are THE PIZZA TALES as well as THE TOWN-HO’S STORY, a chapter from MOBY-DICK.

By turns haunting and comic, and always compelling, these fine stories convey the diversity and grandeur of Melville’s talent as well as the depth of his themes.
