Paperback, [PU: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform], THERE are some strange summer mornings in the country, when he who is but a sojourner from the city shall early walk forth into the fields, and be wonder-smitten with the trance-like aspect of the green and golden world. Not a flower stirs; the trees forget to wave; the grass itself seems to have ceased to grow; and all Nature, as if suddenly become conscious of her own profound mystery, and feeling no refuge from it but silence, sinks into this wonderful and indescribable repose. Such was the morning in June, when, issuing from the embowered and high-gabled old home of his fathers, Pierre, dewily refreshed and spiritualized by sleep, gayly entered the long, wide, elm-arched street of the village, and half unconsciously bent his steps toward a cottage, which peeped into view near the end of the vista., Encyclopaedias & Reference Works<

First published in 1852, Pierre is the only novel by Melville that takes place on land in the United States. The book was a critical and financial disaster for Melville, being universally condemned for both its morals and its style, and he never published another conventional novel, although he subsequently wrote and published many exceptional stories.
