Pierre, or the Ambiguities: Book Guide, Author and Facts
Pierre, or the Ambiguities by Herman Melville: plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.
This Kraken Edition of Pierre, or The Ambiguities is a reconstruction of the text that Melville delivered to Harper & Brothers early in January 1852, just as some of the most devastating reviews of Moby-Dick were appearing. The Harper brothers apparently decided that Pierre was even more outrageous than Moby-Dick and tried to avoid publishing it by offering Melville less than half the royalties they had paid for his previous books.
