Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A mysterious drifter boards a steamboat bound for New Orleans. As they travel down the Mississippi River, the passengers aboard the Fidèle pass the time by telling stories, playing cards, and making conversation as suspicion grows and trust becomes no more than a commodity. The Confidence-Man is Herman Melville's final novel.

Always the perfect gift

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

The writing career of Herman Melville (1819 - 1891) peaked early, with his early novels, such as Typee becoming best sellers. By the mid-1850s his poularity declined sharply, and by the time he died he had been largely forgotten. Yet in time his novel Moby Dick came to be regarded as one of the finest works of American, and indeed world, literature, as was Billy Budd, which was not published until long after his death, in 1924.
