I know this is a classic, but goodness it rambled on and on! I read this as a literature class assignment. My textbook has micro-print, so I downloaded it free on my Kindle. The good thing about that was I was able to use the built in dictionary, otherwise I would have been completely lost. I just kept thinking, "Sum it up already!"

This was a very strange little story, I honestly cannot tell you what was going on for most of it or if there is any symbolism hidden in there, I just thought it was a bit odd and the writing did not really stick out to me.
After finishing Moby Dick I wanted more Melville and this little existential tale of a life fitted the bill perfectly. Moving, thought- provoking, bleak but full of humanity, you can see where novels like Piranesi owe their descent. The themes are similar. Why are we here? What’s life about? Do we have real agency in our lives? What is death?
Sinir bozucu bir karaktere bile usta bir yazar nasıl sempati uyandırabilir onu kanıtladı bence Melville
This is one of those stories where you discover a new meaning with every read.
