The Confidence-man: His Masquerade - Northwestern-newberry Editions of the Writings of Herman Melville
Herman Melville
Long considered the author's strangest novel, this is a comic allegory aimed at the optimism and materialism of mid-18th-century America. A mysterious shape-changing confidence-man urges passengers on a Mississippi steamboat to trust in the cosmos, in nature, and even in human nature.
