Synopsis "Billy Budd, Marinero (in Spanish)"

A diferencia de otras narraciones de Hermán Melville, Billy Budd, marinero se desentiende del mar, de sus criaturas, de la interacción con las gentes de tierra firme, para centrarse en el microcosmos de la vida a bordo de un buque de guerra, a su modo, figuración del mundo. Las barbaries de la guerra, con su degeneración de las causas justas, constituyen eí marco de este cuadro. Billy Budd es ia encarnación de la bondad e inocencia, el maestro de armas John Claggart representa el mal y el recto capitán Veré tiene una lucha interna permanente entre su sentido íntimo de la verdadera justicia última y su deber de aplicar la ley o la justicia humana. Hay una profunda ironía en todos estos destinos y múltiples son las posibilidades de lectura que se pueden realizar de esta novela.

Herman Melville (New York, August 1, 1819-New York, September 28, 1891)1 was an American writer, novelist, poet, and essayist from the American Renaissance period. Among his most famous novels are Typee (1846), based on his experiences in Polynesia, and the novel Moby Dick (1851),1 considered his masterpiece and a classic of world literature

Between 1853 and 1855, he published a series of stories in Putnam Magazine, most of which were collected in The Piazza Tales, including two of Melville's most important narratives: the story Bartleby, the Scrivener and the novella Benito Cereno. Also featured is the story The Encantadas, consisting of ten sketches about the Galapagos Islands linked by a single narrator. In 1857, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, also known as The Confidence-Man, was the last prose fiction work he published. Seeking financial stability, he abandoned writing, accepting a position as a customs inspector

In his later years, in which he also had to endure the death of two of his brothers as well as the death of two of his sons, Clarence, from tuberculosis, and Malcolm from a possible suicide, as well as the death of another of his sons at thirty-five years old, Stanwix Melville, he dedicated himself to writing poetry. Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, from 1866, is a poetic reflection on the Civil War and Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, a fictional epic poem, published in 1876. The novel Billy Budd, which he left unfinished and was posthumously published in London in 1924, is considered one of the most significant works of American literature.
