Download Melville: Six Short Novels AudioBook Free
These six short novels show Melville's cleverness and wit as well as his knowledge of both comic and tragic in everyday activities. The collection starts with "Bartleby the Scrivener", in which Bartleby, a clerk in a law firm, suddenly starts answering all requests with "I'd prefer not to", and mayhem naturally results. It really is accompanied by "Billy Budd", about an angelic, innocent sailor who's punished unjustly. Also included are "The Apple Tree Table", "The Piazza", "I and My Chimney", and "The Happy Failure".
