Summary

Herman Melville: The Enchanted Isles

Since his novels did not find a valid response among critics, or even among the reading public, Herman Melville turned to writing stories. Of these stories, starting with the first from Melville's pen, namely the unforgettable "Bartleby the Scribe", which seems to have been written together by Charles Dickens and Franz Kafka, you have the best in your hands. This collection of stories in the Serbian translation, Enchanted Islands (according to the older English name for this group of islands), got its title from the story of the same name about the Galapagos, a marvelous archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere between the waters of Central and South America, and where Charles Darwin, some twenty years earlier, discovered (since then doubted) the most convincing evidence of natural selection for his theory of evolution. Herman Melville himself stayed in the Galapagos on two occasions, in November 1841 and January of the following year, so his impressions are authentic and the story should be classified as so-called. realistic fiction. "Enchanted Islands", structured as ten drafts, are a kind of imaginative travelogue, but not a guide for ecotourism.
