Melville, a prominent American author of the 19th century, is best known for his iconic novel ‘Moby-Dick’, which explores themes of obsession, fate, and the nature of evil. This collection showcases Melville’s versatility as a writer, spanning various genres and forms, from epic novels to introspective poetry. His literary style is characterized by rich symbolism, complex characters, and philosophical depth, making his works timeless classics in American literature.
