Literature
Herman Melville’s life was defined, to a large extent, by the mobility and the hazards of the seas, an aspect that would make him create fantastic worlds, out of the reality of men, although not necessarily foreign to it. His life as a sailor began when he embarked to Liverpool, as a green hand, and ended on 1844. Later, he got married and established in a farm near Pittsfield, where he became friends with Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose influence can be seen in his novel Moby Dick, or the White Whale. Although most of his literature found inspiration in his travels across the sea, with The Bell-Tower, form the volume Piazza Tales, he delved in the fantastic, with elements he took from his life that took place in the farm in Massachusetts.
