Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. 1626 Melville, by Edwin Haviland Miller (read 4 Apr 1981) This is a psychobiography of Melville, who was born 1 Aug 1819 and died 28 Sept 1891. If I did not usually finish books I start I surely would have quit reading this one, since at times it really is ridiculous. For instance, in discussing Melville's mother's attachment to her brother one finds this: "It may even be significant that Maria named none of her boys after Peter, father or son--the General's name was Peter too--both of whom she kept for herself." The book is full of nonsense like that, but yet it was interesting at times. Clearly Melville had a possibly unconscious homoerotic side. Melville's grave is at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. I would like to visit it. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In this biography, the author depicts the delicate balance between Melville's life and his creativity and examines the impact of family members upon Melville's artistic experience. The author examines Melville's family bonds--the weak father, the dominant mother, and the favored older brother--and the dramatic impact of his father's death (bankrupt and mad) when Melville was only 12. This biography records the painful drama of Melville's search for a replacement of the father which fictionally took the mythic form of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Ishmael.
