Book Description
The Wordsworth Classics covers a huge list of beloved works of literature in English and translations. This growing series is rigorously updated, with scholarly introductions and notes added to new titles.
This work tells the story of an extremely cunning and fearsome whale which becomes the focus of fear and superstition among its pursuers. The one-legged Captain Ahab of the whaler Pequod takes the reader deeper and deeper into the realm of obsessive revenge and monomania.

Arguably Herman Melville's greatest work, and hailed as a classic American novel, Moby Dick tells the tale of one man's fatal obsession and his willingness to sacrifice his life and that of his crew to achieve his goal. The story follows the fortunes of Captain Ahab and the culturally and spiritually diverse crew of the Pequod, a 19th century whaling ship. The Pequod is on its last voyage out of New Bedford, Mass, in pursuit of Moby Dick, the great white whale which has been Ahab's obsessional quarry and bitter adversary for many years. Narrated by sole survivor Ishmael, the tale forms a complex fictional fusion, combining a wealth of literary symbolism, hidden meaning and philosophical debate with adventure narrative and a detailed historical account of the 19th century whaling trade.

From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-Opening with the classic line, "Call me Ishmael," the narrator's New England accent adds a touch of authenticity to this sometimes melodramatic presentation. The St. Charles Players do a credible job on the major roles, but some of the group responses, such as "Aye, aye Captain," sound more comic than serious. This adaptation retains a good measure of Melville's dialogue and key passages which afford listeners a vivid connection with the lengthy novel. Background music and appropriate sound effects enhance the telling of the story about Captain Ahab's obsessive pursuit of the malevolent white whale. The cassettes are clearly marked, and running times are noted on each side of the tapes. Announcements at the beginning of each side and a subtle chime signal at the end make it easy to follow the story, but a stereo player must be used to hear some dialogue. The lightweight cardboard package is inadequate for circulation. Done in a radio theatre format, the recording does a nice job of introducing the deeper themes of the book and covering the major events. For school libraries that support an American literature curriculum, this recording offers a different interpretation of an enduring classic.

From Library Journal
In a sense, this work is the piece de resistance of the textual revolution in American scholarship of the past generation. The first half is the final MLA "Approved Text" of the classic novel, prepared under the auspices of the Center for Editions of American Authors. The second half consists of an Historical Note detailing background, genetic composition, publication, and ensuing critical reception; a discussion of its textual history; and some relevant marginalia. The work is not only thorough and rigorous, but, considering the scholarly grittiness of the endeavor, surprisingly lucid and graceful in its exposition. Highly recommended for special collections.

From AudioFile
This adaptation of Melville's monumental classic retains many of its famous lines and scenes, giving the listener a sense of the endless search for the white whale while not actually going through it detail by detail. The actors bring in a variety of accents and voices that tell much about the characters: from Ishmael's salty New England accent to a fellow whaler's German accent to Queequeg's powerful tone. Sounds of the sea weave in and out of the story without overwhelming it, and the scenes in which the crew is out chasing whales are imbued with a sense of urgency and suspense. The St. Charles Players make MOBY-DICK palatable for a general audience. A.F.
The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Novel by Herman Melville, published in London in October 1851 and published a month later in the United States. Moby-Dick is generally regarded as its author's masterpiece and one of the greatest American novels. The basic plot of Moby-Dick is simple. The narrator (who asks to be called "Ishmael") tells of the last voyage of the ship Pequod out of New Bedford, Mass. Captain Ahab is obsessed with the pursuit of the white whale Moby-Dick, which finally kills him. On that level, the work is an intense, superbly authentic narrative. Its theme and central figure, however, are reminiscent of Job in his search for justice and of Oedipus in his search for truth. The novel's richly symbolic language and tragic hero are indicative of Melville's deeper concerns: the equivocal defeats and triumphs of the human spirit and its fusion of creative and murderous urges.

白鯨(全譯本)(精裝)
梅爾維爾,H.(Herman Melvill l819-1891) 小說傢、詩人。1819年8月1日生於紐約,15歲離開學校,做過銀行小職員、皮貨店店員和教師。1839年在一條去英國利物浦的商船上充當服務員,接觸海洋,對他以後的創作産生瞭影響。1841年他22歲時再度航海,在捕鯨船“阿古希耐”號上充當水手,航行於南太平洋一帶。他後來的傑作《白鯨》取材於這次海上生活。1842年7月離船,曾為南太平洋馬剋薩斯群島有食人生番之稱的泰皮族所俘虜。脫逃後於當年8月在一條澳大利亞商船上作水手,因違犯紀律,被囚在塔希提島。越獄後在當地各島漫遊,所聞所見後來寫進他的《歐穆》一書中。11月,他到一艘捕鯨船上做投叉手。1843年8月又在一艘軍艦上做水手,1844年10月在波士頓退伍。後開始寫作。
梅爾維爾最初的兩本書《泰皮》(1846)和《歐穆》(1847),是根據他在泰皮和塔希提的見聞經過藝術加工而寫成的遊記。1847年梅爾維爾開始創作《瑪地》,並同紐約文藝界接觸,經常為文藝刊物寫稿。1849年梅爾維爾齣版《雷得本》,1850年齣版《白外衣》,都寫航海生活,也都獲得好評。這年夏天他與霍桑相識,兩人成為鄰居和朋友。1851年梅爾維爾齣版他最重要的作品《白鯨》,這部小說以充實的思想內容、史詩般的規模和沉鬱瑰奇的文筆,成為傑齣的作品,但在當時卻沒有得到重視。
梅爾維爾的小說作品還有《皮埃爾》(1852)和《伊斯雷爾·波特》(1855)。他的短篇小說和散文有《代筆者巴特貝》(1853)、《迷惘的島嶼》(1854)、《班尼托·西蘭諾》(1855)等,後來集成《廣場故事》於1856年齣版。1857年齣版的長篇小說《騙子的化裝錶演》。他去世前所寫的一部長篇小說是《畢利·伯德》(1924),在他死後30多年纔齣版。
梅爾維爾晚年轉而寫詩。1866至1885年在紐約任海關檢查員。1866年他自費印行第1部詩集《戰事集》。1876年又自費齣版以宗教為題材的18000行長詩《剋拉瑞爾》,1888年和1891年自費齣版詩集《約韓·瑪爾和其他水手》和詩集《梯摩裏昂》,各印25冊。
梅爾維爾於1891年9月28日去世。一生潦倒不得意,他的作品在當時大多也不受歡迎,直至20世紀20年代以後纔逐漸引起注意。

外教說,這書他都看不懂……不過我還是掙紮著看完瞭,然後寫瞭論文……不敢說看透瞭,但確實還挺喜歡的
評分這是一部充滿瞭masculinity(男性氣概)的作品,前十幾章很有耐心的每個字看過去,到後來直接跳讀 一章節地跳 差不多就到結尾瞭 莫比迪剋也是在最後幾章纔現身(從第一章就開始鋪墊它我也是醉瞭-^-)沒有選擇精讀 人設很有意思 ishmael意識流,Ahab偏執,還有中間就掛瞭的 Queequeg的正直,還有tashtego,starbuck等等 小說氣勢宏大 讀到最後纔發現這本書就是confession ,ishmael一人活下來敘述瞭這樣一個觸動人心的悲劇 麵對自然人類是多麼的渺小 船長在最後終於明白到自己的無力 奮鬥過的一切痕跡被汪洋大海吞並湧沒 人類不斷地challenge,conquer, at last all subsided in the shroud of the sea
評分1 近十年看過最好的小說;2 有生之年可能會抄寫一遍,算是翻譯; 3 大約一周讀完,中間病瞭一場,這作品氣場太強瞭~ of creatures, how few vast as the whale!
評分公認的捕鯨業百科全書。
評分捕鯨業百科全書...135章真是汪洋肆意,麥爾維爾一會像浪蕩的吉普賽人,插科打諢,海聊奇聞異事,一會又披著鬥篷,一臉神秘地講起宗教,人生,命運..有許多內容不與裴廓德號故事主綫相關,所以不免感到囉嗦,發散,不過老頭子倒是蠻有洞見,也許是契閤全書不滿足於事物的錶象,而探索未知深淵的精神的... 當然許多“廢話”也是有用處的,起碼讓你在讀到大段的捕鯨場麵時能腦補現場。 亞哈要挑戰的不是白鯨,是自然,命運,或者是壓抑人,束縛人的一切。白鯨是有無窮能指的所指,它的意義不斷延伸,正如以實瑪利所說,它的白是“a colorless all-color”,實際上是虛無,它展現的是宇宙對人的indifference。裴廓德號的故事從這個角度來看具有瞭西西弗斯推動巨石般無可救藥的生存意誌。
从寒假开始一直在看这本书,断断续续花了有两个月的时间。有时狼吞虎咽,有时逐字逐句终于看完。真的是一本巨著啊,一百三十六章(算上结尾),看完这么多的内容,忍不住吐槽一番,聊表纪念吧! 麦尔维尔大大这一生也可谓是风起云涌啊,做过水手,斗过生番,捕过鲸鱼,搞过学...
