Story
Written as an introductory story to The Piazza Tales, the protagonist of The Piazza idealizes a radiant spot on the mountain that he looks upon from his piazza. Traveling to the spot he realizes it is a house, occupied by the unhappy girl Marianna, who longs to see the lucky individual who lives in the white house she looks upon from her window. The narrator realizes he has been the object of a fantasy like his own, and leaves thinking how all idealism is an illusion.

Story
Bannadonna is an eccentric artist and architect who dreams up plans for a magnificent bell tower. After receiving approval from the city, Bannadonna happily begins construction, but local citizens begin to notice strange occurrences associated with the bell-tower, and complaints eventually reach the city magistrates. While touring the magistrates around the tower, Bannadonna shows off his work and readily answers their questions, but one curiosity remains unanswered—what lies beneath the shroud in the bell-tower.

Story
Auf den Ozeanen herrscht Krieg zwischen dem "Empire" und der "Grande Nation". Bei der Rekrutierung von Schiffspersonal gehen die Soldaten Ihrer Majestät nicht wählerisch vor und verpflichten jeden Mann, den sie in die Finger bekommen können. Als Glücksgriff hierbei erweist sich ein junger Bursche namens Billy Bud, der über Erfahrung auf einem Handelsschiff verfügt und aufgrund seiner physischen Stärke an Bord der "Indomitable" eine Karriere im Mannschaftsgrad beginnt. Seine blendende Erscheinung und seine offene sympathische Art verschaffen ihm die Spitznamen Baby Bud und "Hübscher Matrose".

Story
Ein Hausbesitzer in der Fast-Wildnis überlegt sich, auf welcher Seite am besten eine Veranda angebaut werden sollte und entscheidet sich nach reiflicher Abwägung für die Nordseite, von welcher er die beste Sicht auf einen Bergkamm hat, in dessen Schatten er die Konturen eines Gebäudes wahrnimmt, welches eine unerklärliche Faszination auf ihn ausübt. Gegen jede Vernunft folgt er einem inneren Drang, um seine entfachte Neugierde zu stillen und bricht zum Ort seiner Sehnsucht auf, doch dieser Weg birgt große Gefahren, die überstanden, hohe Risiken, die eingegangen und unbekannte Pfade, die begangen werden müssen.

Die Bürger einer kleinen Gemeinde wollen hoch hinaus, deswegen beauftragen sie den berühmtesten Baumeister ihrer Zeit für den Bau eines Glockenturms, dessen Größe den Turm von Babel noch überragen soll. Doch der geniale "Bannadonna" verfolgt, über den öffentlichen Auftrag zwar erfreut und diesen dankend annehmend, noch weitaus eigensinnigere Absichten und errichtet unter dem Gerüst der Glocken-Baustelle eine Vorrichtung, die mit nichts Bekanntem auf Gottes weiter Welt verglichen werden kann. Er baut im Geheimen an einer Sonderanfertigung.

Story
Das Geschäft mit der Angst blüht nach wie vor: Angst vor Veränderungen, vor Andersdenkenden, vor Andersaussehenden, vor angeblicher Unsicherheit, vor Krieg, vor Spekulationsblasen, vor Eliten, vor anderen Religionen, vor anderen Kulturen, vor Verschwörungen und Geheimbünden, vor Tschihadisten an jeder Ecke und der Allgegenwart der russischen Mafia, vor anderen Meinungen, Standpunkten und natürlich immer im Namen der Wahrheit. Die Angst wird als Gift der ewig Gestrigen gegen freie Gesellschaften und Staaten eingesetzt und manchmal schon mit der Muttermilch verabreicht.

Story
With disparate settings such as a Massachusetts farmhouse and the strange volcanic clime of the Enchanted Isles, this six-story anthology features some of Herman Melville’s most exceptional works. Included here is “Bartleby,” the dark tale of a Wall Street clerk who possesses a confounding and disarmingly passive insubordination; and “Benito Cereno,” in which the captain of a whaler boards a tattered Spanish slave ship in South America only to be drawn into an intricately plotted mutiny.

Story
Billy Budd, Sailor is the final novel by American writer Herman Melville, first published posthumously in London in 1924 as edited by Raymond M. Weaver, a professor at Columbia University. Other versions were later published. Melville had begun writing the original work in November 1888, but left it unfinished at his death in 1891. Acclaimed by British critics as a masterpiece when published in London, it quickly took its place as a classic literary work in the United States.

Story
If you don't know Melville's letters to Hawthorne, you don't know Melville. These letters are full of passion, humor, doubt, and spiritual yearning, and offer an intimate view of Melville's personality. Lyrical and effusive, they are literary works in themselves. This correspondence has been out of print for decades, and even when it was in print it appeared in scholarly volumes of Melville's complete correspondence, aimed at the academy.

Story
"Typee" (in full: "Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life") is American writer Herman Melville's first book, a classic in the literature of travel and adventure partly based on his actual experiences as a captive on the island Nuku Hiva (which Melville spelled as Nukuheva) in the South Pacific Marquesas Islands, in 1842. The title comes from the name of a valley there called Tai Pi Vai. It was Melville's most popular work during his lifetime, but made him notorious as the "man who lived among the cannibals".
