[The author] incisively scrutinizes American confidence that the theological concept of "total depravity" may safely be abandoned. As the Mississippi steamboat Fidele (Faith) goes downriver on April Fool's Day, the Devil, appealing for confidence, engages passengers in dizzying philosophical, social, and religious disquisitions. In 1851, overconfident that Moby-Dick would be popular, [the author] was plunged into debt; and as he wrote [this book], a creditor was threatening to seize his farm. Fundamentalist religious attacks on his earlier books had driven [him] to identify with victims of religious persecution, a bond that would be further strengthened with the publication of [this book].... The text is accompanied by ... new explanatory annotations of biblical, classical, and historical allusions, and many new essays place the book in its ... historical context. --Back cover.

Once in Liverpool, Redburn encounters the squalid conditions of the city and meets Harry Bolton, a bereft and damaged soul, who takes him on a tour of London that includes a scene of rococo decadence unlike anything else in Melville's fiction."--BOOK JACKET.

Po vypuknutí americké revoluce opustí Izrael svou farmu, bojuje u Bunker Hillu, zúčastní se několika námořních bitev a je dvakráte zajat. Poválečná léta prožívá v bídě mezi londýnskou chudinou. Teprve jako osmdesátiletý stařec se vrací se svým synem do vlasti. Jeho rodný kraj je změněn, nikdo ho již nezná, jeho žádost o pensi je zamítnuta: umírá zklamán a chud. Na osudu Izraela Pottera M. ukázal, že ideály americké revoluce nepřinesly prostým lidem, kteří z ně prolévali svou krev, ani svobodu, ani naději na lepší život. (Podle předml.)

The grandson of Revolutionary War heroes, Melville was born into a family that in the fledgling republic had lost both money and status. Half New Yorker, half New Englander, and toughened at sea as a young man, he returned home to chronicle the deepest crises of his era, from the increasingly shrill debates over slavery through the bloodbath of the Civil War to the intellectual and spiritual revolution wrought by Darwin. Meanwhile, the New York of his youth, where letters were delivered by horseback messengers, became in his lifetime a city recognizably our own, where the Brooklyn Bridge carried traffic and electric lights lit the streets. -http://www.loc.gov/catdir

The complex author of the quintessential American masterpiece is demystified by a leading contemporary critic. Hardwick's novelistic flair reveals a former whaleship deck-hand whose voyages were the stuff of travel romances that seduced the public. A single novel, an eternal classic, established him as a founding father of American literature. Now, a century after his death, a new popular surge of interest in Herman Melville calls for Elizabeth Hardwick's rich analysis of "the whole of Melville's works, uneven as it is, & the challenging shape of his life, a story of the creative history of an extraordinary American genius." Hardwick's superb critical interpretation & award-winning novelistic flair reveal a former whaleship deck hand whose voyages were the stuff of travel romances that seduced the public. Later, a self-described "thought-diver" into "the truth of the human heart" Melville harbored a bitterness that knew no bounds when that same public failed to embrace his masterwork, Moby-Dick. Invaluable for enthusiasts of American literature, Herman Melville is itself a masterpiece of critical commentary in the tradition of D.H. Lawrence's Studies in Classic American Literature.
