However, his masterpiece \u003ci\u003eMoby-Dick\u003c\/i\u003e was met with incomprehension and the other later works which are now the basis of his reputation, such as \u003ci\u003eBartleby, the Scrivener \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Confidence-Man\u003c\/i\u003e, were failures. Melville stopped writing fiction and the rest of his long life was spent first as a lecturer and then, for nineteen years, as a customs official in New York City. He was also the author of the immensely long poem \u003ci\u003eClarel, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was similarly dismissed. At the end of his life he wrote \u003ci\u003eBilly Budd, Sailor\u003c\/i\u003e which was published posthumously in 1924.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), B-format paperback, Englisch, 112 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63606808740189,"sku":"K092246756","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/239428-9224675600001A.jpg?v=1771974547","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/penguin-readers-level-7-moby-dick-elt-graded-reader-herman-melville","provider":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
