Best of Melville: Moby-Dick + D. H. Lawrence's critique of Moby-Dick + Typee + The Piazza Tales (The Piazza + Bartleby + Benito Cereno + The Lightning-Rod Man + The Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles + The Bell-Tower) + The Confidence-Man

• Herman Melville (auteur)

  Melville was born into a wealthy family in New York City but faced financial difficulties after his father's death. He married Elizabeth Shaw and had a close relationship with his siblings. Melville's education was interrupted by his father's death, but he showed promise as a student. He worked as a clerk and a school teacher before embarking on a voyage at sea, which inspired his first successful novels, "Typee" and "Omoo." Melville's later works, such as "Moby-Dick" and "Billy Budd," were not as well-received during his lifetime. He faced personal struggles and experienced a decline in popularity, but his works have since been recognized as significant contributions to American literature.

• D. H. Lawrence (Préface de)

  Écrivain anglais, David Herbert Lawrence, auteur du célèbre roman L'Amant de lady Chatterley (1928), est né le 11 septembre 1885 à Eastwood (Nottinghamshire, Royaume-Uni). Sa réputation de chantre de la sexualité et le parfum de scandale qui s'attache à son nom ont un peu occulté la richesse d'une oeuvre qui inclut romans, nouvelles, poésie, essais, récits de voyage, théâtre, peinture, sans compter des milliers de lettres et un manuel d'histoire. Il meurt le 2 mars 1930 à Vence (Alpes-Maritimes).
