The Piazza: Short Story
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
“The Piazza” was written as an introduction to Herman Melville’s 1856 collection The Piazza Tales and was the only work in the collection that was not published individually before the book’s release. Much like his masterpiece Moby-Dick, The Piazza Tales did not sell well during Melville’s lifetime, but has been met with high critical acclaim and academic attention since his death.

Giới thiệu tác giả
Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet who received wide acclaim for his earliest novels, such as Typee and Redburn, but fell into relative obscurity by the end of his life. Today, Melville is hailed as one of the definitive masters of world literature for novels including Moby Dick and Billy Budd, as well as for enduringly popular short stories such as Bartleby, the Scrivener and The Bell-Tower.
