Melvill
Winner of the 2018 Best Translated Book Award Winner of the 2025 Republic of Consciousness Prize, USA & Canada A dying father in the grip of fever and delirium recounts his youth, his Grand Tour, the Venetian palaces populated by fascinating and evil figures, his ruin, and his most beautiful journey--the crossing on foot of the frozen Hudson River. His son, still a child, sits at the foot of the bed, attentively collecting these final, hallucinated words. Could the work of Herman Melville--masterful author, misunderstood, far too ahead of his time, and considered crazy and dangerous by some critics--have as its source this ultimate paternal legacy? Questioning the intricacies of fiction, which constantly oscillatates between reality and imagination, Rodrigo Fres n's approaches the enigma of the literary vocation in a new light. An invented biography, a gothic novel populated by ghosts, and an evocation of a filial love, Melvill contains all the talent, humor, and immense culture found

Et hvalfangerskib var mit Yale og mit Harvard
Et hvalfangerskib var mit Yale og mit Harvard er historien om Herman Melville, forfatteren til Moby Dick. Som ung fik han succes med to sydhavsromaner, men blev siden en litterær outsider og regnedes for gudløs, amoralsk og sindssyg. Selv Moby Dick var glemt, men takket være den efterladte roman Billy Budd blev Herman Melville genopdaget og er i dag et af verdenslitteraturens største navne. Forfatter, journalist og oversætter Flemming Chr. Nielsen tager i bogen læseren med på en personlig ekspedition i et af de mest mærkelige og fascinerende forfatterliv og forfatterskaber. Flemming Chr. Nielsen er også oversætter af Herman Melvilles samlede værker.
