Billy Budd

TRIALS OF THE HANDSOME SAILOR Aboard the warship Bellipotent, the young orphan Billy Budd was called the Handsome Sailor. Billy was tall, athletic, noble looking; he was friendly, innocent, helpful and ever-cheerful. He was a fierce fighter and a loyal friend. All the men and officers liked him... All but one: Master-at-Arms Claggart. Envious, petty Claggart plotted to make Billy's life miserable. But when a fear of mutinies swept through the fleet, Claggart realized he could do more than just torment the Handsome Sailor... He could frame Billy Budd for treason... ---------- Also contained in: - Scarlet Letter / Adventures of Huckleberry Finn / Red Badge of Courage / Billy Budd - Benito Cereno / Bartleby, the Scrivener / Encantadas / Billy Budd - Billy Budd and Other Prose Pieces - Billy Budd, Sailor & Other Stories - Billy Budd and Other Tales - Billy Budd, Sailor and Other Stories - Billy Budd and other stories - Billy Budd, Sailor and Selected Tales - Complete Shorter Fiction - Five Tales - Four Great American Novels - Great Short Works of Herman Melville - Moby Dick / Billy Budd - Novels.
