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(首发于个人公众号weimustudy) 航海小说大概是我最不喜欢的小说题材之一。我不知道出海捕鱼的故事能写出什么新意,这个题材似乎早已被当代作家抛弃,正像这个职业在今天已被边缘化。大海上的旅程过于漫长而单调,非航海爱好者几乎不可能会觉得有趣。另外,船上都是男人,船下...

"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.
Where he is the Leviathan, king of the deep.

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
