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.
"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.

評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...

评分像被高壓水槍直衝下來已經是彆個世界瞭
评分華大English 352小說。瘋人與惡魔之間悲壯的鬥爭,此前的鋪敘刻畫人物入木三分。跟著課堂的進度看有些趕,跳過瞭不少無關緊要的片段,但“捕鯨的百科全書”絕非浪得虛名,同時也是大量西方文化的精彩閤集,值得日後迴味。Melville的幽默感不時抬頭
