Billy Budd - Red Cat Classics

Billy Budd - Red Cat Classics Book Description Billy Budd is the "last" work written by Herman Melville, who is better known for his works such as Moby Dick and Bartleby the Scrivener. In the book, Melville tells the story of a strong, extremely handsome, pure-hearted young sailor, a symbol of naturalness. While doing this, he creates an intricate work by including elements related to the Bible and mythology. Thus, it creates an "epos" that includes the eternal conflict between good and evil, civilization and barbarism, and even society and the individual. Billy Budd is a perfect proof of how a wise master of writing who is over seventy stretches his bow one last time and reaches out to youth, to the creative dreams of youth, and how he emphasizes what he sees through the eyes of youth, regardless of age. "Other than that, he had no sharp intelligence, no particular talent. He had no trace of the cunning of a snake, but he was not as naive as a dove. He had a measure of intelligence and intelligence, as well as that astonishing honesty of the innocent, spotless human being who had not yet been offered that questionable apple." "He was illiterate, but he knew how to sing beautifully. Just like the illiterate nightingale, he sometimes sang his songs as he felt like it at that moment." (From the Promotional Bulletin)
