Rent The Happy Failure: Stories (Short Story Collections)

Synopsis

Herman Melville is widely recognized as one of the greatest writers America has ever produced. Had his metaphysical whaling novel, Moby-Dick, been his sole literary legacy, Melville's place in the pantheon of great writers would have been assured. But Melville created many other much-beloved classic works, such as Billy Budd, Sailor and Benito Cereno. Herein are ten stories representing some of the American master's best short work, including the tales 'Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street,' 'The Happy Failure,' and 'The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids.'
