About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles by Herman Melville. Read by James K. White. The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles is a novella by American author Herman Melville. First published in Putnam's Magazine in 1854, it consists of ten philosophical "Sketches" on the Encantadas, or Galápagos Islands. It was collected in The Piazza Tales in 1856. The Encantadas was to become the most critically successful of that collection. All of the stories are replete with symbolism reinforcing the cruelty of life on the Encantadas.
