赫尔曼·麦尔维尔(Herman Melville,1819—1891),美国伟大的小说家和诗人,被誉为美国的“莎士比亚”。代表作有长篇小说《白鲸》、中短篇小说集《阳台故事集》等。
First published in 1856, five years after the appearance of Moby Dick, The Piazza Tales comprises six of Herman Melville's finest short stories. Included are two sea tales that encompass the essence of Melville's art: "Benito Cereno", an exhilarating account of mutiny and rescue aboard a disabled slave ship, which is a parable of man's struggle against the forces of evil, and "The Encantadas", ten allegorical sketches of the Galapagos Islands, which reveal nature to be both enchanting and horrifying. Two pieces explore themes of isolation and defeat found in Melville's great novels: "Bartelby, the Scrivener", a prophetically modern story of alienation and loss on nineteenth-century Wall Street, and "The Bell Tower", a Faustian tale about a Renaissance architect who brings about his own violent destruction. The other two works reveal Melville's mastery of very different writing styles: "The Lightning-Rod Man", a satire showcasing his talent for Dickensian comedy, and "The Piazza", the title story of the collection, which anticipates the author's later absorption with poetry.

评分19世纪美国小说家赫尔曼·梅尔维尔曾经写过一部名为《白鲸》的反映海洋题材的长篇小说,写了船长与白鲸之间不是你生就是我死的故事。在这部长篇小说里,赫尔曼·梅尔维尔笔下的亚哈船长足够勇毅,也足够执著;如果白鲸也像人类一样,具有人类的思维而且会说话的话,恐怕它会很...
