The Piazza Tales

The Piazza Tales is a collection of Herman Melville short stories including: The Piazza, Bartleby, the Scrivener, Benito Cereno, The Lightning-Rod Man, The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles, The Bell-Tower. Herman Melville was an American writer of novels, short stories and poetry. Melville was a schoolteacher for a short time and a seaman. On his first voyage he jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands. His first book, Typee, was an account of that time and became a bestseller and Melville became known as the "man who lived among the cannibals." Public indifference to Moby-Dick put an end to his career as a popular author. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early 20th century that his work won recognition. 9781483703909 1483703908 150 Fiction NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=iPKNoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
