Six shorter works - The Piazza, Bartleby, Benito Cereno, The Lightning-Rod Man, The Encantadas, and The Bell-Tower - by master storyteller Herman Melville. Wonderfully melding story, character, symbol, and theme with deft description of,the natural and manmade world, the author gives us strange and compelling stories that are as fascinating in our time as they were in his own.

Good Thing Melville Used Easy Words . . . Just Kidding,
This review is from: The Piazza Tales (Paperback)
Melville is my favorite author, and these stories are ingenious. One small problem: this edition lacks explanatory notes of any kind. Can you read it without them? Of course. Can you spend roughly the same dollar amount on a book with footnotes to explain his allusions? Of course.
