Herman Melville, known as the "Shakespeare" of the United States, did not receive the attention he deserved during his lifetime, but became famous thirty years after his death. He is a writer who deserves to be "rediscovered" many times.
"Moby Dick" is the greatest American novel, the greatest book about the sea, one of the ten most classic novels in the world in the eyes of Maugham, the book Faulkner most wanted to write, and the book that has profoundly influenced Obama, Steve Jobs, Bob Dylan and others.
This reprint includes all thirty woodcut illustrations by artist Raymond Bishop, with silver foil on the backing.
Luo Shanchuan's translation has been highly praised by readers. The professor of translation, who has experienced many hardships in his life, translated it with full enthusiasm in his sixties.
