Call #: FICTION MEL Subjects Swindlers and swindling -- Fiction.   Sailors -- Fiction.   Mississippi River -- Fiction. Series Penguin English library. ISBN:  9780141199306 (pbk.)

Summary:  In The Confidence-Man, Melville's unnerving and hallucinatory satire on the American dream, a slippery trickster and master of disguise comes to swindle his fellow passengers - who themselves may also be con-men - aboard a Mississippi steamboat.Billy Budd, Sailor, published after Melville's death in 1891, is a gripping allegory of good and evil, as an innocent man, pressed into service on a British man-of-war, is falsely accused of mutiny. Both these late works are animated with the dark genius of the greatest of American writers.
