Story
The action is set within the claustrophobic confines of a British man-of-war ship in the summer of 1797. Here live the crew of the HMS Indomitable, many of them pressed into service against their will.
Billy Budd, however, enjoys naval life. But the evil master-at-arms, Claggart, loathes his fresh-faced innocence and accuses him of mutiny. From this false charge springs a naval tragedy.

Story
"Billy è l'ultimo. E Billy Budd è una parabola. In questo discorso in forma di racconto (che, come è noto, fu redatto tra il 1886-1888 e il 1891, anno della morte dell'autore, e uscì nella prima edizione soltanto nel 1924) infatti Billy dà vita alla figura angelicata di colui che sempre e comunque subisce e subirà il torto, l'ingiustizia, la prepotenza, l'illegalità (per dirla melvillianamente, le mire del maligno su questa terra).

Kapitän Amaso Delano nimmt im Morgengrauen ein fremdes Schiff wahr - unkontrolliert und ohne Flagge treibt es auf den Hafen zu, in dem er vor Anker liegt.

Doch damit bringt er sich in große Schwierigkeiten, denn aufständische schwarze Sklaven haben dort das Ruder übernommen und der einstige Kapitän Benito Cereno muss um sein Leben bangen.

Story
The American literary tradition has, in a far shorter span of time than others throughout history, achieved a glowing and glittering reputation. From its transatlantic roots it has absorbed the sons and daughters of other cultures, other lands and made them part of her own. Within this melting pot of styles, genres and wordplay one fact stands out: In the American short story, literary tradition has a strong, vibrant and almost inclusive history, if you know where to look.

Story
Considered to be the least characteristic of Melville's stories, somewhat resembling the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe, The Bell-Tower is a dark literary work that explores, though never fully reveals, its central mystery. An eccentric artist and architect dreams up plans for a magnificent bell tower. After receiving approval from the city, he happily begins construction. When city residents begin to notice strange occurrences associated with the project, their complaints eventually force the city magistrates to investigate.

"Omoo" è il secondo romanzo di Melville; è un libro pieno di umorismo, ma anche una favola allegorica sull'incontro e lo scontro fra la civiltà e il mondo incantato delle isole polinesiane. Racconta di una baleniera sgangherata comandata da un capitano incapace, di una ciurma di personaggi squinternati, di ammutinamenti, incarcerazioni, incontri, amicizie e battibecchi con isolani e missionari di ogni genere. Sullo sfondo, la vita di bianchi e indigeni nei Mari del Sud.

Die Kurzgeschichte „Kikeriki oder Das Krähen des edlen Hahnes Beneventano“ von Herman Melville, dem Autor des berühmten „Moby Dick“ wurde 1853 zum ersten Mal veröffentlich. In seiner skurrilen Mischung aus Komik und Tragik, der vielfarbigen, offenen, fast experimentellen Struktur ist der Text bestens dazu geeignet, ihn mit improvisierter Musik zu verbinden. Der Kölner Regisseur und Schauspieler Carl-Herbert Braun hat die Erzählung für den Podcast eingerichtet und eingesprochen, den die beiden Musikerinnen Angelika Sheridan und Ute Völker mit Improvisationen und eigenen ...

Story
Herman Melville was born in New York City on 1st August 1819. His father died when he was 12, leaving the family in very straitened times. Two years later Melville took a job in a bank and followed up with a failed stint as a surveyor. He went to sea and travelled across to Liverpool and then to the Pacific on adventures. Presented here is perhaps his best known short story, ‘Bartleby, the Scrivener’, an enduring story of a Wall Street lawyer and his very particular assistant.

"Moby-Dick oder Der Wal" (englisch "Moby-Dick or The Whale") ist ein 1851 in London und New York erschienener Roman des amerikanischen Schriftstellers Herman Melville (1819–1891). Das erzählerische Rückgrat des Romans ist die schicksalhafte Fahrt des Walfangschiffes Pequod. Unter dem finsteren Kapitän Ahab kreuzt eine gemischte Mannschaft rauer Walfänger auf ihrem unheimlichen Schiff über die vier Weltmeere. Sie jagen den weißen Wal, den die Seeleute Moby Dick nennen. Moby Dick hat dem Kapitän ein Bein vom Körper gerissen, und nun verfolgt dieser den weißen Wal mit tödlichem Hass.

Es ist die Geschichte einer absoluten Verweigerung. In der Wall Street-Anwaltskanzlei von Mr. Tucker arbeiten zwei Schreiber und ein Lehrling. Jeder von ihnen hat seine schrulligen Eigenheiten, aber man hat sich aneinander gewöhnt. Da erscheint ein blasser junger Mann: Bartleby. Er wird als Kopist eingestellt und beginnt seine Tätigkeit mit stillem Fleiß und einsiedlerischer Ausdauer. Seine Handschrift ist sauber, er selbst sehr arbeitsam. Aber die Stille, die ihn umgibt, seine Eigenschaftslosigkeit, wird zunehmend immer seltsamer.

Zwei meisterhafte Erzählungen aus dem Amerika des 19. Jahrhunderts, die sich mit dem merkwürdigsten Lebewesen von allen beschäftigen: dem Menschen. "Bartleby": Der Kopist der Anwaltskanzlei Bartleby gibt seinem Chef Rätsel auf. Zuerst glänzt er durch hervorragende Arbeit, dann jedoch beginnt er sich zurückzuziehen und reagiert auf jede Arbeitsanweisung mit dem rätselhaften Satz: "Ich möchte lieber nicht." Herman Melvilles Werk aus dem Jahre 1853 wird als frühe Kapitalismuskritik verstanden und fasziniert noch heute.

Story
In those houses which are strictly double houses that is, where the hall is in the middle the fireplaces usually are on opposite sides; so that while one member of the household is warming himself at a fire built into a recess of the north wall, say another member, the former's own brother, perhaps, may be holding his feet to the blaze before a hearth in the south wall the two thus fairly sitting back to back. Is this well? Be it put to any man who has a proper fraternal feeling. Has it not a sort of sulky appearance?
