About this book
The sailor hanged for a blow he did not mean to strike, together with the shorter prose Melville left unpublished. Billy Budd was found in a tin box among his papers thirty years after his death and printed for the first time in 1924; it is the last thing he wrote. This edition adds fifty-nine plates of maritime painting by Turner, Aivazovsky, van Os and Eckersberg, dating from 1760 to 1888.
