Quiquiriquic!

Few works have influenced and anticipated modern and contemporary narrative as well as Herman Melville's. Not only Moby Dick, but also narratives such as "Bartleby, the writer" have been translated, edited and applauded many times in our language, but texts as important as "The Veranda", "The Two Temples" or "The Bell Tower" they have gone too unnoticed. With the stories, we had a pending subject. Here we gather eight essential ones, plus a poem and a letter. Beyond the writer there is a plural, melancholic and tragicomic Melville, hitherto unpublished in Catalan, which we can finally appreciate.
