Synopsis "Encantadas: Diario de un Viaje por Europa y Oriente (in Spanish)"

Herman Melville (1819-1891) no había cumplido aún los veinte años cuando su espíritu aventurero lo llevó a embarcarse rumbo a las islas del PacíficoHerman Melville (1819-1891) no había cumplido aún los veinte años cuando su espíritu aventurero lo llevó a embarcarse rumbo a las islas del Pacífico Sur, viajes que inspiraron sus primeras obras: Taipi, un edén canibal (1846, El Club Diógenes, 143), Omoo (1847), Mardi (1849) y Redburn (1849). Tras el enorme esfuerzo de redacción de su obra maestra Moby Dick (1851), Melville inicia la escritura de una serie de relatos, entre los que se encuentran dos de los más aclamados: Bartleby, el escribiente (CD, 126) y Benito Cereno (CD, 266), que reuniría en 1856 bajo el título de The Piazza Tales.Las Encantadas forma parte de esta colección. Redactada en una serie de diez scketchs, Las Encantadas (1854) va más allá de una mera descripción geográfica de las Islas Galápagos, de su rica fauna y de su extraordinaria historia, para transformarse ante los ojos del lector en un paisaje literario, poético e incluso mítico. El primer sketch contiene una descripción de las islas; en el segundo el narrador anónimo reflexiona sobre su encuentro con unas centenarias tortugas galápagos; el quinto nos relata el descubrimiento de un buque fantasma por parte del USS Essex, durante la guerra de 1812. Los últimos sketchs describen las distintas islas del archipiélago y su historia: refugio de bucaneros, hogar de personajes solitarios... La presente edición incluye el Diario de viaje por Europa y Oriente, publicado póstumamente, donde Melville nos cuenta las vivencias del viaje que emprendió en 1856 por Italia, Grecia, Turquía y Tierra Santa. .

Herman Melville (New York, August 1, 1819-New York, September 28, 1891)1 was an American writer, novelist, poet, and essayist from the American Renaissance period. Among his most famous novels are Typee (1846), based on his experiences in Polynesia, and the novel Moby Dick (1851),1 considered his masterpiece and a classic of world literature

Between 1853 and 1855, he published a series of stories in Putnam Magazine, most of which were collected in The Piazza Tales, including two of Melville's most important narratives: the story Bartleby, the Scrivener and the novella Benito Cereno. Also featured is the story The Encantadas, consisting of ten sketches about the Galapagos Islands linked by a single narrator. In 1857, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, also known as The Confidence-Man, was the last prose fiction work he published. Seeking financial stability, he abandoned writing, accepting a position as a customs inspector

In his later years, in which he also had to endure the death of two of his brothers as well as the death of two of his sons, Clarence, from tuberculosis, and Malcolm from a possible suicide, as well as the death of another of his sons at thirty-five years old, Stanwix Melville, he dedicated himself to writing poetry. Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, from 1866, is a poetic reflection on the Civil War and Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, a fictional epic poem, published in 1876. The novel Billy Budd, which he left unfinished and was posthumously published in London in 1924, is considered one of the most significant works of American literature.
