The Encantadas : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Encantadas ''The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles'' is a novella by American author Herman Melville. First published in ''Putnam's Magazine'' in 1854, it consists of ten philosophical "Sketches" on the Encantadas, or Galápagos Islands. It was collected in ''The Piazza Tales'' in 1856. ''The Encantadas'' was a success with the critics,〔Branch, ''Herman Melville, the Critical Heritage.'' p. 35.〕 but it did not help Melville out of his financial troubles. ==Composition== Like all of the stories later included in ''The Piazza Tales'', Melville wrote ''The Encantadas'' while in financial straits after the failure of his novels ''Moby-Dick'' and ''Pierre: or, The Ambiguities''. ''Putnam's'' invited him to contribute material in 1852; he began to write, but never finished, a story on the abandoned wife Agatha Hatch Robertson that year,〔Melville described this story in a letter to his friend Nathaniel Hawthorne. See ''Billy Budd and Other Stories'', pp. viii–ix.〕 and submitted his famous work "Bartleby, the Scrivener" in 1853. In 1854 he contributed ''The Encantadas'', which became the most critically successful of the ''Piazza Tales''.〔
