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 評分麦尔维尔在《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...
評分在这片神秘的场域之上,我们捕获并解剖世界的架构、将它公然晾干并以之为序,但我们所及之物也止于架构而无涉世界之核。这核于世界而言是秩序,同时亦是无度;于你而言是命运,并终于化归死亡。在你扑入它的维度的一刻(却无时无刻不在它的维度中),你已出离原在之所(迈向原...
