À propos de l'auteur
Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American author and poet. His writing was often inspired by his youthful experiences at sea and his first books, Typee and Omoo were autobiographical and well received. His later writings, notably Moby Dick, were less lucrative and had little standing amongst literary critics at the time of his death. The first decades of the 20th century saw a dramatic reevaluation of Melville’s work where many critics and scholars justly acclaimed his oeuvre as a landmark in American letters.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Billy Budd is the final novel from legendary author Herman Melville. Published posthumously almost thirty years after his death, the novel is renowned for its richness of character and its thematic ambiguity.Melville couches his tale of morality inside an exciting nautical adventure set during the tumultuous times of the Napoleonic Wars. The novel follows the titular Billy Budd, a handsome and charismatic sailor conscripted aboard a British Man 'O War named Bellipotent. When one of the senior officers accuses him falsely of mutiny, Budd lashes out and strikes the officer dead in one blow. In the court martial that ensues, the crew struggles to find a just solution to the problem of Billy Budd. On one hand, he has killed a senior officer, and naval law dictates his own life be given in return. On the other, the charges of mutiny originally leveled against him are clearly false and begin a dialogue that calls into question the absolute morality of the law. An unprecedented accomplishment for its time, Melville's utilization of his rich characters to explore morality, political power, and justice levels a potent critique of institutional power that continues to resonate with readers today.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
