Comment un jeune matelot qui était l'innocence même, ayant frappé un sous-officier pervers qui l'accusait faussement de sédition, devint coupable selon les Articles de la Guerre et fut pendu parmi les vergues par la volonté d'un capitaine qui en était venu à l'aimer comme un père.

Work Description

TRIALS OF THE HANDSOME SAILOR
Aboard the warship Bellipotent, the young orphan Billy Budd was called the Handsome Sailor. Billy was tall, athletic, noble looking; he was friendly, innocent, helpful and ever-cheerful. He was a fierce fighter and a loyal friend. All the men and officers liked him...

All but one: Master-at-Arms Claggart. Envious, petty Claggart plotted to make Billy's life miserable. But when a fear of mutinies swept through the fleet, Claggart realized he could do more than just torment the Handsome Sailor...

He could frame Billy Budd for treason...

Excerpts

In the time before steamships, or then more frequently than now, a stroller along the docks of any considerable seaport would occasionally have his attention arrested by a group of bronzed mariners, man-of-war's men or merchant sailors in holiday attire, ashore on liberty.
