Liberty In his twenties Melville wrote a number of very popular sea stories. These were followed by more serious, ambitious works (such as Moby-Dick ) which were much less successful with the public and failed to find an audience even in more educated, literary circles. At the age of 37 he abandoned the idea of making his living from writing. Increasingly forgotten, his only literary output over the next thirty years was poems which he and his relatives paid to have published. Around his seventieth year, interest in his work began to revive. A final flowering of his genius, Billy Budd, Foretopman

Herman Melville
N Typee Omoo (1847) y Mardi (1849) están ambientadas en las islas de los Mares del Sur. Redburn (1849) está basada en su primer viaje por mar, mientras que La guerrera blanca (1850) relata sus experiencias en el ejército. En 1850 se estableció en una granja cerca de Pittsfield (Massachusetts), donde entabló una estrecha amistad con Nathaniel Hawthorne, autor que ejercería una gran influencia en Melville y a quien éste dedicó su obra maestra, Moby Dick o la ballena blanca (1851). El tema central de esta novela es el conflicto entre el capitán Ahab, patrón del ballenero Pequod, y la gran ballena blanca que le arrancó las piernas al capitán a la altura de la rodilla. Ahab, ávido de venganza, se lanza con toda su tripulación a una desesperada búsqueda de su enemigo. La obra sobrepasa en mucho la aventura y se convierte en una alegoría sobre el mal incomprensible representado por la ballena, un monstruo de las profundidades, que ataca y destruye lo que se pone en su camino, y también por el capitán Ahab, que representa la maldad absurda y obstinada, que sostiene una venganza personal y arrastra a la muerte inútil a muchos inocentes. La ambigüedad con la que se juzgan el bien y el mal hace de esta novela una heredera de la Odisea de Homero e incluso de La Divina Comedia de Dante. Moby Dick no resultó un éxito comercial y la siguiente novela de Melville

28. "The Encantadas"
From The Life and Works of herman melville.
http://www.melville.org/encant.htm
The Encantadas
or
Enchanted Isles Sketch First
The Isles at Large "That may not be, said then the ferryman,
Least we unweeting hap to be fordonne;
For those same islands seeming now and than,
Are not firme land, nor any certein wonne,
But stragling plots which to and fro do ronne
In the wide waters; therefore are they hight
The Wandering Islands; therefore do them shonne;
For they have oft drawne many a wandring wight Into most deadly daunger and distressed plight; For whosoever once hath fastened His foot thereon may never it secure But wandreth evermore uncertain and unsure." "Darke, dolefull, dreary, like a greedy grave, That still for carrion carcasses doth crave; On top whereof ay dwelt the ghastly owl, Shrieking his baleful note, which ever drave Far from that haunt all other cheerful fowl, And all about it wandring ghosts did wayle and howl." Take five-and-twenty heaps of cinders dumped here and there in an outside city lot, imagine some of them magnified into mountains, and the vacant lot the sea, and you will have a fit idea of the general aspect of the Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles. A group rather of extinct volcanoes than of isles, looking much as the world at large might after a penal conflagration. It is to be doubted whether any spot on earth can, in desolateness, furnish a parallel to this group. Abandoned cemeteries of long ago, old cities by piecemeal tumbling to their ruin, these are melancholy enough; but, like all else which has but once been associated with humanity, they still awaken in us some thoughts of sympathy, however sad. Hence, even the Dead Sea, along with whatever other emotions it may at times inspire, does not fail to touch in the pilgrim some of his less unpleasurable feelings.

Joseph Conrad
Years ago I looked into Typee and Omoo , but as I didn't find there what I am looking for when I open a book I did go no further. Lately I had in my hand Moby Dick . It struck me as a rather strained rhapsody with whaling for a subject and not a single sincere line in the 3 vols of it. Letter to Humphrey Milford, January 15 1907
George William Curtis, author
I don't think Melville's book [ The Piazza Tales Putnam stories will bring it up. Letter to J.H. Dix, January 2 1856
Evert Duyckinck, friend
...Herman Melville passed the evening with me fresh from his mountain charged to the muzzle with his sailor metaphysics and jargon of things unknowable. But a good stirring evening ploughing deep and bringing to the surface some rich fruit of thought and experience Melville instanced Burton as atheistical in the exquisite irony of his passages on some sacred matters; cited a good story from the Decameron the Enchantment of the husband in the tree; a story from Judge Edmonds of a prayer meeting of female convicts at Sing Sing which the Judge was invited to witness and agreed to, provided that he was introduced where he could not be seen. It was an orgie of indecency and blasphemy. Said of Bayard Taylor that as some augur predicted the misfortunes of Charles I from the infelicity of his countenance so Taylor's prosperity "borne up by the Gods" was written in his face.

Herman Melville was born in New York City into an established merchant family. His father became bankrupt and insane, dying when Melville was 12. A bout of scarlet fever in 1826 left Melville with permanently weakened eyesight. He attended Albany (N.Y.) Classical School in 1835. He left the school and was largely autodidact, devouring Shakespeare as well as historical, anthropological, and technical works. From the age of 12, he worked as a clerk, teacher, and farmhand. In search of adventures, he shipped out in 1839 as a cabin boy on the whaler "Achushnet". He later joined the US Navy, and started his year long voyages on ships. During these years he was a clerk and bookkeeper in a general store in Honolulu and lived briefly among the Typee cannibals in the Marquesas Islands. Another ship rescued him and took him to Tahiti.

34. Melville And Nathaniel Hawthorne
The story of the friendship between the two authors, and the surviving letters from melville to Hawthorne.
http://www.melville.org/hawthrne.htm
Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne
A page from The Life and Works of Herman Melville In the summer of 1850 Melville purchased an eighteenth-century farmhouse in the community of Pittsfield in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Berkshire was then home to a number of prominent literary figures such as Fanny Kemble, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, and, in Lenox, less than six miles from Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne. The two authors met for the first time in Stockbridge on August 5, 1850, on a picnic excursion hosted by David Dudley Field. Hawthorne was forty-six and was familiar with at least a portion of Melville's work, having favorably reviewed Typee in the Salem Advertiser (March 25, 1846); Melville was thirty-one and had just written or was about to write an exceedingly warm and enthusiastic piece on Hawthorne's Mosses From an Old Manse , a copy of which had been given to him by an aunt a few weeks before. Early in the course of the excursion, a sudden thunderstorm forced the party to take shelter, giving Melville and Hawthorne an opportunity to become better acquainted. The two men took to each other at once, and as their conversation continued were delighted to discover a growing bond of mutual sympathy and comprehension. Two days later Hawthorne wrote to a friend "I liked Melville so much that I have asked him to spend a few days with me." This would be the first of a series of visits, supplemented by written correspondence, that would continue until the gradual cooling off of the friendship late in 1852.

Herman Melville
Herman Melville was born in New York City to an established merchant family. He was the third child of eight. His father, Allan Melville, an importer of French dry goods, became bankrupt and insane, and died when Melville was twelve. His mother, Maria Gansevoort Melville, was left alone to raise her eight children. Occasionally she received help from her wealthy relatives. A bout of scarlet fever in 1826 left Herman with permanently weakened eyesight. He attended Albany (N.Y.) Classical School in 1835. He left the school and was largely autodidact, devouring Shakespeare as well as historical, anthropological, and technical works. From the age of twelve, he worked as a clerk, teacher, and farmhand. In search of adventures, he shipped out in 1839 as a cabin boy on the whaler Achushnet . He joined later the US Navy, and started his years- long voyages on ships, sailing both the Atlantic and the South Seas. During these years he was a clerk and bookkeeper in general store in Honolulu and lived briefly among the Typee cannibals in the Marquesas Islands. Another ship rescued him and took him to Tahiti. In his mid-twenties, Melville returned to his mother's house to write about his adventures. Typee , an account of his stay with the cannibals, was first published in Britain, like most of his works. The book sold roughly 6,000 copies in its first two years. Its sequel

    MELVILLE, HERMAN
    , author. Although Melville has been regarded throughout most of the twentieth century as one of America's most powerful literary artists, particularly for his masterpiece Moby-Dick, he was largely unrecognized in his lifetime. Born into a once-prominent family, Melville enlisted as a sailor on the whaler Acushnet in 1841. His experiences supplied him with raw materials for the sea narratives he later wrote. After four years at sea, Melville settled in New York and became associated with a group of editors and journalists seeking to foster a "home" literature. With the backing of editor Evert Duyckinck, Melville published his semiautobiographical sea adventure Typee in 1846, followed in 1847 by its sequel Omoo. His critical reception was as favorable as it would ever be. But even in these first reviews, critics condemned not only his enticing descriptions of Polynesian life and his attacks on American missionaries in the Pacific but less predictably, what they called his lack of "veracity"—a disinclination for realistic representation that suggested to some an intent to mislead his readers. Despite what he knew of his readership's intolerance for "flights of fancy," Melville then published a political allegory, Mardi
