The Piazza Tales
by Melville, Herman
- Used
- very good
- Hardcover
- first
1st edition of Melville's first (and only) book of short stories. Original brown cloth, gilt sharp (usually oxidized away), wear to spine tips, lightly foxed, else very good, tolerable for this cheaply made book.
Looking back to the American short story's roots there was Irving's Sketch Book (1820), the invention of the modern short story, and the first American book that was a bestseller here and in Europe. Then came Poe's Tales (1845), Hawthorne's Mosses From an Old Manse (1846), and after The Piazza Tales, there were Twain, James, Crane, Bierce, and O. Henry, followed by Fitzgerald and Hemingway but this is the one book that touches them all.
