Billy Budd es una novela corta del escritor estadounidense Herman Melville, publicada en 1924. La historia se desarrolla en 1797, durante las guerras napoleónicas, a bordo del buque de guerra británico Indomitable. Billy Budd, un joven marinero, es reclutado a bordo del barco y rápidamente se gana el favor de la tripulación. Sin embargo, el contramaestre John Claggart siente envidia de Billy y lo acusa falsamente de sedición. Billy, incapaz de defenderse verbalmente debido a un tartamudeo, golpea a Claggart, causándole la muerte. El capitán Vere, aunque reconoce la inocencia de Billy, lo condena a muerte para mantener el orden y la disciplina a bordo.
Herman Melville was an American writer of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia, and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was not well known to the public, but 1919, the centennial of his birth, was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick would eventually be considered one of the Great American Novels.
