Synopsis "Cuentos Completos"

Bicentenario Herman Melville (1819-2019) Muchos de los héroes melvilleanos temen y sufren la deriva universal de la masa de la humanidad hacia el más completo de los olvidos de la misma angustiosa manera que tratan de oponerse a ella. La propia deriva de Melville en su tiempo, incomprendido y escasamente valorado por el público y la sociedad literaria, no auguraba el reconocimiento que le reservaría la posteridad. Desplazados, retirados, víctimas de grandes mudanzas, sus personajes tratan de encontrar un sentido a la soledad que finalmente ha caído sobre sus vidas: a veces lo encuentran, sí, y entonces alguno de ellos, con genio y sin fama, es más feliz que un rey; otros se aferran obsesivamente a una obra que les identifica, como puede ser un campanario, un Gran Aparato Hidrostático o una chimenea , y en esa identificación hallan la muerte, un fracaso investido de dignidad o, al contrario, el valor de una insobornable resistencia; algunos, como el protagonista de La veranda, persiguen quimeras sólo para descubrir que ellos mismos son la quimera de otros menos afortunados; y otros, en fin, como el marino Daniel Orme, se llevan a la tumba el secreto de su hosquedad y su silencio. En este volumen se recogen los Cuentos Completos de Melville y el lector tendrá ocasión de descubrir en él no sólo las claves de una literatura inspiradísima, extemporánea y visionaria, sino también la apreciable deuda que la posteridad ha contraído, y quizá no saldado, con su autor, sin duda uno de los mayores precursores de las corrientes literarias del siglo XX.

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.

Edición remozada de la anterior (de 2006, si recuerdo bien), a propósito del bicentenario del natalicio de Herman Melville. Excelente traducción y afortunada ordenación de los cuentos (explicada en el prólogo). Una publicación a la altura del gran escritor, que el Tiempo, con su impecable espada, puso en merecido pedestal.

El primer cuento es malo (o a mi no me gustó, me aburrió), pero de ahi los 18 restantes estuvieron muy buenos (son 19 en total)...no esta incluido Bartleby, el escribiente. Lo recomiendo.
