Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was a leading American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet. Born into a wealthy New York family, Melville experienced financial hardship later in his life. His early experiences as a sailor, traveling the world, provided rich material for his future writings. His most famous work is Moby-Dick; a sprawling epic known for its grand narrative, profound symbolism, and exploration of the complexities of human nature. Beyond Moby-Dick, Melville produced a body of work including the novels Typee, Omoo, Mardi, Pierre, and Billy Budd, Sailor (posthumously published), as well as numerous short stories and poems. His works tackled themes of adventure, romance, and social criticism, profoundly reflecting the transformations of 19th-century American society and the human spirit. While not widely successful during his lifetime, Melville's literary genius has since been fully recognized, establishing him as a classic American author whose influence on subsequent literature remains significant. His work displays the characteristics of early American Romanticism, while also incorporating elements of realism, providing inspiration and a model for later American writers such as Mark Twain. He lived through America's transition from early capitalism to industrial revolution, and this context shaped the social conflicts and individual destinies so intricately woven into his narratives.
