The Apple-Tree Table and Other Sketches = Стол из яблони и другие рассказы: на англ.яз

Herman Melville (1819 — 1891) was an American poet and novelist of the American Renaissance, best known for his allusive adventure novel «Moby-Dick.» Mysterious and unpredictable, the «Pierre: or, The Ambiguities» contains all the good and intriguing features of the Gothic fiction genre. «The Apple-Tree Table and Other Sketches» is a wonderful collection of the author’s short stories, such as «Jimmy Rose,» «The Happy Failure,» «The ‘Gees,» and of course «The Apple-Tree Table» itself.
