Sjömannen Ismael mönstrar på valfångstfartyget Pequod som leds av den excentriske kaptenen Ahab. För många år sedan förlorade Ahab sitt ben under ett möte med den vita valen Moby Dick, och har sedan den dagen drömt om hämnd.

A man sits at his hearth as thunder shakes the mountains. Then—a knock. A stranger steps in, soaked and shivering, armed not with warmth or need, but with polished copper and an urgent offer. He doesn't sell comfort. He sells protection—against the very sky. The Lightning-Rod Man is Herman Melville at his most compact and cunning. This sharply drawn tale uses one room, one storm, and two voices to stage a quiet war between reason and fear, independence and submission, belief and the glittering promise of safety. It's a sales pitch wrapped in a sermon, disguised as a fable.

At the heart of Dark Romanticism is its brooding, pessimistic tone, its emphasis on the supernatural and the sins of humanity, and its use of iconic symbols and horrifying imagery.

The Bell-Tower appeared in 1855 in Putnam's Monthly Magazine no. 32 (August). In the south of Europe, nigh a once frescoed capital, now with dank mould cankering its bloom, central in a plain, stands what, at distance, seems the black mossed stump of some immeasurable pine, fallen, in forgotten days, with Anak and the Titan.

"The Lightning-Rod Man" appeared in 1854, in Putnam's Monthly Magazine no. 20 (August). What grand irregular thunder, thought I, standing on my hearthstone among the Acroceraunian hills, as the scattered bolts boomed overhead and crashed down among the valleys, every bolt followed by zigzag irradiations, and swift slants of sharp rain, which audibly rang, like a charge of spear-points, on my low shingled roof. I suppose, though, that the mountains hereabouts break and churn up the thunder, so that it is far more glorious here than on the plain. Hark! - some one at the door.

"The Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles" is a novella by American author Herman Melville. First published in Putnam's Magazine in 1854, it consists of ten philosophical "Sketches" on the Encantadas, or Galápagos Islands.

"Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" is a short story by the American writer Herman Melville, first serialized anonymously in two parts in the November and December 1853 issues of Putnam's Magazine.

The Piazza published by Herman Melville in 1856. The sketch describes Melville's farmhouse, called Arrowhead, in Pittsfield, Mass. Supposedly, the other tales in the collection, including Bartleby the Scrivener and Benito Cereno, were narrated on the piazza of the farmhouse.

Leviathans stride the poetic stage, known to us all and revered by many. Their verse is at once familiar and yet constantly reveals new layers and depths, new ways of thinking and assembling words to reveal new truths, new feelings and above all new poetry.

The Piazza Tales is a collection of six short stories by American writer Herman Melville, published by Dix & Edwards in the United States in May 1856 and in Britain in June. Except for the newly written title story, "The Piazza," all of the stories had appeared in Putnam's Monthly between 1853 and 1855. The collection includes what has long been regarded as three of Melville's most important achievements in the genre of short fiction, "Bartleby, the Scrivener," "Benito Cereno," and "The Encantadas," his sketches of the Galápagos Islands.

Considerada una obra maestra de la narración corta, Bartleby, el escribiente constituye una pieza anticipatoria de la literatura existencialista y del absurdo. A través del protagonista, un escribiente que se enfrenta a las demandas de la realidad con una inquietante respuesta, «preferiría no hacerlo», el estoicismo, la ironía, el humor y el sordo desasosiego alegórico presente en la obra del Melville se aúnan para expresar la obstinación del ser humano en su afán de obtener respuesta a las grandes preguntas o, al menos, seguir buscándolas.

Moby Dick, la novela que William Faulkner hubiera querido escribir, va siempre acompañada del reconocimiento y el elogio que merece toda construcción narrativa impecable. La lucha del capitán Ahab, su terrible obsesión y la mítica persecución de la enorme ballena ha traspasado fronteras, consiguiendo así la indiscutible categoría de obra maestra de la literatura universal.

Bartleby ist ein Schreibgehilfe, ein Anwaltskopist. Zunächst glänzt der neue Gehilfe bei der Arbeit und bewältigt ein gewaltiges Arbeitspensum. Bald jedoch beginnt Bartlebys Eifer nachzulassen; immer öfter begegnet er Aufforderungen zur Arbeit mit einem schlichten "Ich möchte lieber nicht". Der Erzähler ist ratlos. Was soll er tun? Bartleby entlassen möchte er nicht.
