Billy Budd and Other Stories by Herman Melville
2.0
I simply love it when university lecturers make the students buy (expensive) books only to read fifty pages or less of the entire book. Anyway, Billy Budd by Herman Melville was the only book in Billy Budd and Other Stories I was to read for my university course in american renaissance because our lecturer thought Moby Dick would be too big a deal for the course to handle. Perhaps he was right about that...
Billy Budd by Herman Melville is a story about justice through authorities, in this case the captain among this crew. It is very clear that the author never finished this novella before his sudden death in 1891, however, Billy Budd can easily be read for what Melville left it like. I found the story to be all right, the writing the same and the length no exception.
