"Moby-Dick" is a novel written by Herman Melville. It tells the story of Captain Ahab's obsessive quest for revenge against the giant white sperm whale, Moby Dick, who had bitten off his leg. The book was initially published to mixed reviews and was a commercial failure. However, it gained recognition as a Great American Novel in the 20th century. The novel is known for its lyrical writing style and its exploration of themes such as the nature of evil and the human desire for understanding. It draws inspiration from real-life events, such as the sinking of the whaleship Essex. The book incorporates various genres, including adventure, philosophy, and whaling lore. Melville's work was influenced by other writers, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson. Despite its initial reception, "Moby-Dick" has since been celebrated for its originality and literary value.

Auteur

  • Herman Melville (auteur)

    Melville was born into a wealthy family in New York City but faced financial difficulties after his father's death. He married Elizabeth Shaw and had a close relationship with his siblings. Melville's education was interrupted by his father's death, but he showed promise as a student. He worked as a clerk and a school teacher before embarking on a voyage at sea, which inspired his first successful novels, "Typee" and "Omoo." Melville's later works, such as "Moby-Dick" and "Billy Budd," were not as well-received during his lifetime. He faced personal struggles and experienced a decline in popularity, but his works have since been recognized as significant contributions to American literature.
