Billy Budd, Sailor has been called the best short novel ever written.
In his brilliantly condensed prose, Herman Melville fashions a legal
parable in which reason and intellect prove incapable of preserving
innocence in the face of evil. For all those who feel themselves
threatened by a hostile and inflexible environment, there is special
significance in this haunting story of a handsome sailor who becomes a
victim of man's intransigence.
