A tale of deception of both the characters and the readers, the tale is commonly cited as a classic example of the unreliable narrator device in which the subjective viewpoints lead the reader astray as to what is actually happening.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eSet in 1799, we witness an American trading vessel, the Bachelor's Delight, visiting to aid the San Dominick - a Spanish slave ship which has apparently fallen into distress. The American captain, Amasa Delano, notes a few oddities about Captain Benito Cereno and the ship's passengers, particularly the liberties taken by the slaves aboard ship, but is otherwise unperturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Herman Melville","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43997991927969,"sku":"9781387771493","price":42.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1dz462ep-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747214408","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/benito-cereno-hardcover","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
