Melville, Herman, 1819-1891.

Pierre : or, The ambiguities / by Herman Melville. - 505 pages ; 21 cm - Evergreen books .

"Published in three editions: An Evergreen book (E-55); A hard bound edition; A specially bound, Limited edition of 100 numbered copies."

Melville's most controversial novel, this work is a "surprisingly domestic novel". And "is about a nuclear family and its claustrophobic emotional dependencies. Dealing with immensely controversial issues such as incest and moral relativism, PIERRE was savaged by critics upon its publication in 1852"--Powells.com
