But his very purity ignites envy in John Claggart the ship's master-at-arms whose secret malice leads to false accusations of mutiny. Trapped in a conflict between innocence and corruption Billy becomes the pawn in a deadly game of power honor and justice. As loyalties fracture and tensions rise his fate is sealed in a tragic clash with an unforgiving system.</p><p></p><p>Written near the end of Herman Melville's life and published posthumously in the 1920s <strong>Billy Budd Sailor</strong> stands as one of his most profound works.
