Herman Melville is widely recognized as one of the greatest writers America has ever produced. Had his metaphysical whaling novel, "Moby-Dick, " been his sole literary legacy, Melville's place in the pantheon of great writers would have been assured. But Melville created many other much-beloved classic works, such as "Billy Budd, Sailor" and "Benito Cereno." Herein are ten stories representing some of the American master's best short work, including the tales "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street, " "The Happy Failure, " and "The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids." Bonus story Harper Perennial proudly supports the art of the short story. Included in this classic volume is a bonus story from one of our new writers, Alex Burrett, from his forthcoming' collection, "My Goat Ate Its Own Legs." Read a short story today.
