About this book
A first-person short story in which the narrator resists his family's efforts to remodel or remove the enormous chimney that dominates his home. Suited to readers of Herman Melville and nineteenth-century American literature.
Herman Melville
Herman Melville was an American writer of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia, and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was not well known to the public, but 1919, the centennial of his birth, was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick would eventually be considered one of the Great American Novels.
