The Piazza Tales Chapter 3 - Benito Cereno Part 2

from The Herman Melville Library · host Herman Melville

In which a weary mariner, visiting a strangely afflicted Spanish vessel, encounters a captain whose curious demeanour and enigmatic inquiries kindle a flicker of suspicion amidst the calm sea air, though natural benevolence tempers the visitor’s uneasy conjectures. As he observes the peculiar crew and their interactions, the subtle shadows of mystery cast by the ship’s silence weave a delicate web of doubt and reflection in his mind.
