## Description

desertcart.com: Billy Budd, Sailor (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels): 0800759813636: Melville, Herman: Books

Review: never too late - Hard to imagine it took me 80 years to find this excellent tale. We are all of us at our best Billy Budd; fair, honest, brave.
Review: A fascinating tale - I read this as a warm-up to Moby-Dick, and while it’s not a breezy read (Melville loves his allusions and rich vocabulary), it is undoubtedly a rich one with a fascinating question at its heart: can a man of innocent character be guilty of murder? Upon this question, Melville layers naval life in the late 18th century, which makes the text feel even richer and more detailed than a simple parable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fascinating tale
*by M***G on May 31, 2023*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price, but small print
*by R***N on October 8, 2019*

Nice inexpensive copy, but print is really tiny so be prepared!
