Pierre / Israel Potter / The Piazza Tales / The Confidence Man / Uncollected Prose / Billy Budd by Herman Melville
A collected volume of varied narratives ranging from a melodramatic psychological novel and a historical Revolutionary War adventure to a suite of haunting short stories, a satirical philosophical voyage of con-artistry on a riverboat, assorted essays, and a posthumous novella about innocence and maritime justice; together they explore identity, conscience, law, obsession, and the sea with dense lyricism, dark irony, moral ambiguity, and a restless probing of human motive and fate.
