Born in New York City, financial hardship forced him to leave school and seek work at sea, experiences that profoundly shaped his writing. His early adventure novels \u003cem\u003eTypee\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOmoo\u003c\/em\u003e brought initial success, but \u003cem\u003eMoby-Dick\u003c\/em\u003e (1851) received mixed reviews and poor sales, devastating Melville. His subsequent works, including \u003cem\u003eBilly Budd\u003c\/em\u003e, were largely ignored during his lifetime. Melville spent his final decades working as a customs inspector in obscurity. Only in the 1920s did critics rediscover his genius, recognizing his complex exploration of good, evil, and obsession as foundational to American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 7.28 x 3.88 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48372334166237,"sku":"9781429096003","price":15.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/8Qg56W0nI79781429096003.webp?v=1786697313","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/chowder-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
