Paperback. Condizione: Good. This compelling biography of Herman Melville, one of America's most enigmatic literary figures, recounts a life full of adventure, hardship, and moral conflict. The grandson of two wealthy Revolutionary War heroes, Melville spent the first years of his affluent childhood in New York City, until his father went suddenly bankrupt in 1830, moved the family upstate, and died shortly thereafter. Melville escaped to sea in his early twenties, sailing first to England, then to Polynesia, where he found himself fleeing from cannibals, joining a mutiny, and frolicking with naked islanders. Much of his writing was based on his nautical adventures, but his novels were, for the most part, unsuccessful and misunderstood. His only close friend was Nathaniel Hawthorne, to whom he dedicated Moby-Dick. Later in life, Melville had to accept work as a low-level customs agent to support his wife and children. Newton Arvin's eminently readable biography beautifully captures the troubled, often reclusive man whose major works include Typee, Omoo, Bartleby the Scrivener, Billy Budd, and his indisputable masterpiece, Moby-Dick. This winner of the 1950 National Book Award, Herman Melville is the wisest and most balanced single piece of writing on Melville -- The New York Times .a superb exercise of critical scholarship and an ornament to American letters. -- Saturday Review of Literature.…

Very Slight Trace Of Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine, Otherwise Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Traces of Internal Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine. Edited with an introduction by Newton Arvin. 279 pages. hardcover. keywords: American Literature Letters. DESCRIPTION - Despite his denials, Henry Adams was one of the best-educated figures of his time, the great post-Civil War period of American expansion. Historian, Editor, author, world traveler, distinguished member of a distinguished family, he was in a unique position to observe his world, and to record it in his own vivacious and charming way. This volume, with a critical introduction by Newton Arvin, presents a selection of over a hundred of Adams's best letters, extending from his studious youth in Germany to his last years in Washington during the First World War. Included is a generous representation of the letters Adams wrote on his wide-ranging travels - to Japan, the South Seas, Ceylon and most of Europe, as well as the more personal and revealing letters he wrote during his periods of homekeeping quiet and study. Known in his own lifetime chiefly as a historian, and after his death as the author of The Education of Henry Adams, Henry Adams has been only less well known as a letter writer. Yet nowhere does his literary power manifest itself more brilliantly and unflaggingly than in the scores of letters he wrote during his long and very full career. inventory #12659 Very Slight Trace Of Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine, Otherwise Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Traces of Internal Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine. …
