The Piazza Tales by Herman Melville ~ Full Audiobook [adventure]

The Piazza Tales by Herman Melville audiobook.

Genre: adventure

A collection of six short stories by American writer Herman Melville, published in May 1856. Except for the newly written title story, 'The Piazza,' all of the stories had appeared in Putnam's Monthly between 1853 and 1855. The collection includes what has long been regarded as three of Melville's most important achievements in the genre of short fiction, 'Bartleby, the Scrivener', 'Benito Cereno', and 'The Encantadas', his sketches of the Galápagos Islands. (Billy Budd, arguably his greatest piece of short fiction, would remain unpublished in his lifetime.) One should note that the era's prevalent racism occasionally surfaces, as in describing blacks as 'indisputable inferiors', to be found in 'Benito Cereno'.
