About this listen

 Young naive sailor Billy Budd is impressed into military service with the British navy in the 1790s, framed for conspiracy to mutiny, summarily convicted in a drum-head court martial, and hanged. Billy Budd is the final published work by Herman Melville, discovered in his personal papers three decades after his death.

Typical wandering of Melville. I have to listen/read one chapter at a time to keep interest.

Good clear reader.
