Description
Moby-Dick is Herman Melville's great adventure of the sea and the life of the soul, featuring the timeless characters Ishmael, Ahab, and Queequeg, and presented here in a beautiful Everyman's Library hardcover edition.
A giant of American literature, Melville is justly honored for the epic sweep of his mind, but his lyricism, his skill in rendering the minute, the particular, and the local was equally sublime. These qualities are on full display in Moby-Dick, his breathtaking maritime masterpiece of belief, friendship, obsession, and whaling. Published in the same five-year span as The Scarlet Letter, Walden, and Leaves of Grass, Moby-Dick stands alone as the ultimate achievement in that stunning period--and in all of American letters.
With an introduction by Larzer Ziff. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman's Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
