"It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it."
So Melville wrote of his masterpiece, one of the greatest works of imagination in literary history. In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopaedia of whaling lore and legend, the book can be seen as part of its author's lifelong meditation on America. Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby-Dick is also a profound inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.
This edition of Moby-Dick, which reproduces the definitive text of the novel, includes invaluable explanatory notes, along with maps, illustrations, and a glossary of nautical terms.
Herman Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet. His first two books gained much attention, though they were not bestsellers, and his popularity declined precipitously only a few years later. By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, Moby-Dick — largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville's fall from favor with the reading public — was rediscovered in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature.

评分华大English 352小说。疯人与恶魔之间悲壮的斗争,此前的铺叙刻画人物入木三分。跟着课堂的进度看有些赶,跳过了不少无关紧要的片段,但“捕鲸的百科全书”绝非浪得虚名,同时也是大量西方文化的精彩合集,值得日后回味。Melville的幽默感不时抬头

评分船长亚哈应该是气疯了。 在现代文明社会里,我们已经学会为自己开脱了。不像以前,有点自然现象,或者意外发生,总觉得是上苍降怒于生灵。我们这里会祈雨,外国人会祷告,核心应该都差不多,大概就是我们会乖乖听话,请老天收了灵通吧。 如果老天不收呢? 在现代社会,我们摸索...
评分早就在日记上写过,真正读完这本书,你得有麦尔维尔对鲸的那份执著才行。从今年5月份,到现在已过去的大半个暑假,它一直是我枕边一本极好的催眠书。其实读前一百多页(陆地部分),我只花了一天的时间。而一到出海,大段的陈述就接踵而至,快感全无。从那时起我就感到困惑了。...
评分麦尔维尔在《白鲸》的卷首说,他把这书献给霍桑,聊表他的敬慕之情。 曾经感觉相当的奇怪。 没法喜欢《红字》。虔诚清教徒式的敏感、狂热和故做镇静,一如戏剧或者诗歌式的宏伟架构,与夏多布里昂的《阿拉达》一样的蛮荒背景但远为沉重。雨果的浪漫主义比他要轻得...
评分错译与漏译的误导 ——评《白鲸》译事 文舒 北京燕山出版社在1999年12月推出了其世界文学文库全译本《白鲸》(姬旭升译)的第二次印刷本。在不到三个月的时间里再版的这部译作,是本怎样的书呢? 请读者诸君先仔细读一读《白鲸》译本的开头: 很多年以前,那时...
