Herman Melville

Herman Melville was immediatly thrown into a life he had to obide by not being able to fulfil his dream as a writer first off due to "the financial breakdown of his family" which left him in troubled times. As a sailor he witnessed first hand how evil that trancendentalists deny was there as he saw cannibals while going around the world. He later also wrote a book that describes a man who is troubled by the task of killing a whale that took his leg and has no meaning for life or care for anybody else's life just to pursue the whale. He also understood that trancendentalists little happy world of doing it yourself was not possible by all and that problems should be shown a bit more realisticly.
