«Melville» is the biography of Herman Melville written by Elizabeth Hardwick, published by Random House Mondadori in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Hardwick analyses the life and work of Herman Melville: his years as a sailor on whaling ships, the success of his travel chronicles, the public rejection of Moby Dick, and the long oblivion that led him to bitterness. The author combines biography and literary criticism to show how he turned his experiences into an inquiry into the human heart.

For readers interested in American literature and writers' biographies, with a critical and literary approach rather than a purely anecdotal one.
