Book Description
Herman Melville's final novel, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, is a masterwork of 19th century American satire. First published on April Fool's Day 1857, and set on a Mississippi steamboat. The story meanders through scenes in the American landscape and hinterlands. The eloquent prose traces the steps of absurd quack doctors, and peddlers alike.
