The Piazza Tales is a collection of Herman Melville short stories including:
The Piazza,
Bartleby, the Scrivener,
Benito Cereno,
The Lightning-Rod Man,
The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles,
The Bell-Tower.

Herman Melville was an American writer of novels, short stories and poetry. Melville was a schoolteacher for a short time and a seaman. On his first voyage he jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands. His first book, Typee, was an account of that time and became a bestseller and Melville became known as the "man who lived among the cannibals." Public indifference to Moby-Dick put an end to his career as a popular author. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early 20th century that his work won recognition.
