Herman Melville: Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. Printed book.

Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American writer and sailor whose life and work represented a remarkably organic fusion of a traveler’s experience and an artist’s mythopoetic worldview. Recognition of the magnitude of Melville’s genius did not come immediately, and it was only a quarter of a century after his death that the true scope of his immense contribution to the treasury of world literature became apparent. Melville’s central work, the grand "Moby-Dick," became one of the pinnacles of American literature, finally stripping America of its status as a "cultural wasteland." In addition to "Moby-Dick," this edition includes a number of the most significant novellas and short stories, providing insight into the versatility of Herman Melville’s talent and his mastery as a writer.
