Dive into the haunting beauty of The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles, a thought-provoking novella by the renowned American author Herman Melville. First published in Putnams Magazine in 1854, this collection of ten philosophical sketches explores the enigmatic Galápagos Islands. Included in The Piazza Tales in 1856, The Encantadas stands out as the most critically acclaimed piece of the collection. With rich symbolism woven throughout, Melville masterfully reflects on the harsh realities of life in this remote paradise.
