Book Description

Imagine a literary experience that takes you deep into the heart of the sea, where the line between man and nature blurs into an epic tale of obsession and revenge.

Moby-Dick brings to life the unrelenting pursuit of the elusive white whale led by the formidable Captain Ahab. Herman Melville's monumental novel captures the essence of a thrilling maritime adventure while examining the profound psychological and philosophical battles that plague humanity.

The Dover Bookshelf presents this sweeping narrative that showcases the overpowering beauty and danger of the ocean, complemented by symbolism and poetic prose. The story unfolds in this beautifully designed hardcover edition, with a step back in time to the great age of Yankee whaling. Moby-Dick is a rich exploration of the human spirit, the futility of vengeance, and the eternal struggle between humankind and the wild.

About the Author

About Herman Melville

Herman Melville was born in New York City in 1819. He worked as a crew member on several vessels beginning in 1839, his experiences spawning his successful early novels Typee (1846) and Omoo (1847). Subsequent books, including his masterpiece Moby-Dick (1851), sold poorly, and by the 1860s Melville had turned to poetry. Following his death in New York City in 1891, he posthumously came to be regarded as one of the great American writers.
