Beschreibung

The Confidence-Man is an ambiguous figure who sneaks aboard a Mississippi steamboat on April Fool's Day. This stranger attempts to test the confidence of the several steamboat passengers whose interlocking stories are told as they travel down the Mississippi River toward New Orleans. The novel is written as cultural satire, allegory, and metaphysical treatise, dealing with themes of sincerity, identity, morality, religiosity, economic materialism, irony, and cynicism. Herman Melville's writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change. His best known works include Typee, a romantic account of his experiences in Polynesian life, its sequel Omoo, and the great classic Moby-Dick.

Über den Autor

Herman Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the nineteenth century. Drawing on his own experiences at sea, he produced a body of work that combines adventure with philosophical and symbolic depth. Though not fully recognised during his lifetime, Melville is now regarded as one of the central figures of American literature, with Moby-Dick standing as his most significant achievement.
