Weaver, a professor at Columbia University. Other versions were later published. Melville had begun writing the original work in November 1888, but left it unfinished at his death in 1891. Acclaimed by British critics as a masterpiece when published in London, it quickly took its place as a classic literary work in the United States. Members Reviews: BUY ANY OTHER VERSION There are no page numbers, there are no "other stories," and the "illustrations" have absolutely nothing to do with the book itself. that's a short novel that I think everyone should read-- the perfect merging of the the more formal/literary aspects of the ... I bought this book for the Benito Cereno novella that's included, as I had to read it for a class-- that story alone makes this collection worth it. Alarming and chilling, but satisfyingly written, that's a short novel that I think everyone should read-- the perfect merging of the the more formal/literary aspects of the writing with Melville's political intentions. A classic picture of harsh life at sea Not sure what prompted me to read this classic; it reminds one of harsh life at sea in the 1800's. Read between the lines Bill Budd is one of my favorite stories. The story of Billy and Captain Vere is a perfect allegory for many relationships that exist between young people and society and vice versa. Well worth reading between the lines.
