Billy Budd, Sailor by Herman Melville (Annotation Print Edition)

Description Everyone knows about the hunt for the white whale in Moby Dick, but one of the best ways to encounter Herman Melville for the first time is in this powerful little tale. Billy Budd never looked to be in the King’s Navy, but when he was forced into service he was quick to make the very best of it because, well, that’s just Billy! Billy is kind, he is hard working, he is handsome, and everyone loves him! Well … almost everyone. When you set sail with Billy on the Bellipotent you will leave the world behind just to find yourself in a new smaller and self contained world. In the world at large it is a time of revolution and upheaval, but all of that is in the background of what is happening on one British “Man-of-War.” It is the well being of all the men of his crew, his world, that Captain Vere has to worry about and there is a serpent on board.
