He worked at odd jobs (clerk, garmhand, teacher) before sailing to the South Seas on the whaler Acushnet. He deserted his ship, lived among cannibals, mutinied on an Australian boat, then spent two years on an American boat returning to the U.S. He successfully romanticized these adventures, publishing seven novels in six years, including Moby Dick (1851), one of the masterworks of American fiction. His popularity waned, and by the time he died he was virtually forgotten. Billy Budd was his last great novel. As his writing declined, Melville sailed again, around Cape Horn to San Francisco on a clipper ship commanded by his brother.CONTENTS CHAPTER A mute goes aboard a boat on the Mississippi. CHAPTER Showing that many men have many minds. CHAPTER In which a variety of characters appear. CHAPTER Renewal of old acquaintance. CHAPTER The man with the weed makes it an even question whether he be a great sage or a great simpleton. CHAPTER At the outset of which certain passengers prove deaf to the call of charity. CHAPTER A gentleman with gold sleeve-buttons. CHAPTER A charitable lady. CHAPTER Two business men transact a little business. CHAPTER In the cabin. CHAPTER Only a page or so. CHAPTER The story of the unfortunate man, from which may be gathered whether or no he has been justly so entitled. CHAPTER The man with the traveling-cap evinces much humanity, and in a way which would seem to show him to be one of the most logical of optimists. CHAPTER Worth the consideration of those to whom it may prove worth considering. CHAPTER An old miser, upon suitable representations, is prevailed upon to venture an investment. CHAPTER A sick man, after some impatience, is induced to become a patient. CHAPTER Towards the end of which the Herb-Doctor proves himself a forgiver of injuries. CHAPTER Inquest into the true character of the Herb-Doctor. CHAPTER A soldier of fortune. CHAPTER Reappearance of one who may be remembered. CHAPTER A hard case. CHAPTER In the polite spirit of the Tusculan disputations. CHAPTER In which the powerful effect of natural scenery is evinced in the case of the Missourian, who, in view of the region round about Cairo, has a return of his chilly fit. CHAPTER A philanthropist undertakes to convert a misanthrope, but does not get beyond confuting him. CHAPTER The Cosmopolitan makes an acquaintance. CHAPTER Containing the metaphysics of Indian-hating, according to the views of one evidently as prepossessed as Rousseau in favor of savages. CHAPTER Some account of a man of questionable morality, but who, nevertheless, would seem entitled to the esteem of that eminent English moralist who said he liked a good hater. CHAPTER Moot points touching the late Colonel John Moredock. CHAPTER The boon companions. CHAPTER Opening with a poetical eulogy of the Press, and continuing with talk inspired by the same. CHAPTER A metamorphosis more surprising than any in Ovid. CHAPTER Showing that the age of music and magicians is not yet over. CHAPTER Which may pass for whatever it may prove to be worth. CHAPTER In which the Cosmopolitan tells the story of the gentleman-madman. CHAPTER In which the Cosmopolitan strikingly evinces the artlessness of his nature. CHAPTER In which the Cosmopolitan is accosted by a mystic, whereupon ensues pretty much such talk as might be expected. CHAPTER The mystical master introduces the practical disciple. CHAPTER The disciple unbends, and consents to act a social part. CHAPTER The hypothetical friends. CHAPTER In which the story of China Aster is, at second-hand, told by one who, while not disapproving the moral, disclaims the spirit of the style. CHAPTER Ending with a rupture of the hypothesis. CHAPTER Upon the heel of the last scene, the Cosmopolitan enters the barbers shop, a benediction on his lips. CHAPTER Very charming. CHAPTER In which the last three words of the last chapter are made the text of the discourse, which will be sure of receiving more or less attention from those readers who do not skip it. CHAPTER The Cosmopolitan increases in seriousness.(*_*)1230000012516_Herman MelvilleBorn in New York City, the son of New England merchant.
