Sinopse

In "The Complete Works of Herman Melville," readers are presented with a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the rich diversity of the author'Äôs literary contributions, ranging from the iconic novel "Moby-Dick" to his lesser-known short stories and poetry. Melville'Äôs intricate narrative style, characterized by a fusion of realism and romanticism, delves into profound themes such as existentialism, humanity'Äôs relationship with nature, and the critique of societal norms, all couched in symbolic and often allegorical frameworks. This compilation serves not only as a testament to Melville's literary prowess but also offers insight into the tumultuous socio-political landscape of 19th-century America that influenced his storytelling. Herman Melville, born in 1819, was a seminal figure in American literature whose experiences as a sailor, as well as his encounters with various cultures, deeply informed his narratives. His works often reflect a struggle with philosophical and theological questions, stemming from both personal and societal dilemmas, which ultimately led him to explore the complexities of the human condition through a nuanced lens. Melville'Äôs unique voice and the evolution of his writing also mirrored the changing American identity during his lifetime. This comprehensive collection is essential for any scholar or reader seeking to immerse themselves in the multifaceted world of Melville. It not only charts the evolution of an author whose works were often overlooked in his time but also invites modern readers to engage with the timeless themes that resonate with contemporary issues. Melville'Äôs brilliance and ambition make this compilation a significant addition to both individual libraries and academic studies.

    Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress upon Human Life and Thought, generally known as Anticipations, was written by H.G. Wells at the age of 34. He later called the book, which became a bestseller, "the keystone to the main arch of my work." His most recent biographer, however, calls the volume "both the starting point and the lowest point in Wells's career as a social thinker." Taking the revolution in transport facilitated by the "mechanical revolution" as his point of departure, Wells told readers they were living through a reorganization of human society that would alter every dimension of life. An academic biographer has described the degree of accuracy of Wells's predictions as "certainly phenomenal.
