Redburn: His First Voyage

Widely believed to be among Melville's most popular works, «Redburn, His First Voyage» follows the young Wellingborough Redburn on his first journey at sea. A boy just on the verge of manhood, Redburn's decision to become a sailor is apparently at odds with his gentle upbringing, which has made him in many ways unprepared for the hardships of his chosen profession. He is unmercifully initiated into the life of a sailor by his fellow crewmen, a trying juxtaposition to his unalloyed...

Pierre, Or, The Ambiguities

Herman Melville (1819-1891), now at the center of the American literary canon, was wildly dismissed for this labyrinthine effort. With the Boston Post writing upon its release, «it might be supposed to emanate from a lunatic hospital rather than from the quiet retreats of Berkshire.» Perhaps Melville's most difficult and wildly textured work, «Pierre: Or, The Ambiguities», (1852) to this day evades easy categorization or critical interpretation. Now seen as an ambitious foray into...

The story is told by Ishmael, a sailor aboard a whaling ship captained by Ahab who embarks on an obsessive quest for revenge against a giant sperm whale that bit off his leg on a previous voyage.
