His first two novels, ''Literature/{{Typee}}'' and ''Omoo'' made him one of the most famous authors in the United States overnight. One of his short stories, "Bartleby, the Scrivener" is also quite well known. However, his most famous works were not successful in his lifetime: ''Moby-Dick'' failed pretty decisively and ''Billy Budd'' wasn’t even published while he was alive. During his life, he was known for ''Typee'', a pretty ordinary travel story in Polynesia, which you would probably never read today unless you take a course entirely about him.
