"e;Melville at his best invariably wrote from a sort of dream self, so that events which he relates as actual fact have indeed a far deeper reference to his own soul, his own inner life."e; - D.H. Lawrence. Here are ten stories that represent some of the best short work of American master Herman Melville, including "e;Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street,"e; "e;The Happy Failure,"e; and "e;The Paradise of Bachelors and The Tartarus of Maids."e; Alongside THE HAPPY FAILURE, Harper Perennial will publish the short fiction of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Willa Cather, Stephen Crane, and Oscar Wilde to be packaged in a beautifully designed, boldly colorful boxset in the aim to attract contemporary fans of short fiction to these revered masters of the form. Also, in each of these selections will appear a story from one of the new collections being published in the "e;Summer of the Short Story."e; A story from Alex Burrett's forthcoming collection, MY GOAT ATE ITS OWN LEGS, will be printed at the back of this volume.
