About this book

Melville's strange, headlong novel of moral idealism turns on Pierre Glendinning, a young aristocrat whose settled world collapses when he learns that a poor, mysterious woman may be his illegitimate half-sister. Determined to do right by her while shielding his family's honor, he renounces his fortune, breaks with his devoted fiancee, and flees to the city, where he tries to survive as a struggling writer amid poverty and self-doubt. What begins as a domestic romance darkens into a study of guilt, forbidden longing, and the impossibility of pure virtue. Dismissed by critics when it appeared just after Moby-Dick, it now reads as a bold psychological experiment.

About the author

Herman Melville - BDeBooks
Herman Melville

Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American writer who drew heavily from his own experiences as a merchant sailor and whaler in the Pacific. He produced novels, short stories, and poetry that examined moral complexity and the sea, though he remained relatively obscure during his lifetime and saw renewed recognition only after his death.
