Moby Dick (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The best thing that you can expect from a book is that it actually transports to the scene by imaginative and realistic narration of the story. Moby Dick, is one such book that talks about the how blinded one can get when it comes to revenge and hatred and they choose to overlook what is at stake. Moby Dick is actually a great white whale against whom Ahab bears a grudge for loosing his leg. Driven by his sheer vengeance, he put the entire crew along with the ship at stake. A compelling story of the tussle between man and nature in which the latter of course wins. Man remains a mute spectator who is still reeling in its mysteries.

Autorenporträt

Herman Melville was an American Renaissance novelist, poet, and short story writer who lived from August 1, 1819, to September 28, 1891. His most well-known pieces are Typee (1846), a romanticized narrative of his experiences in Polynesia; Moby-Dick (1851); and Billy Budd, Sailor, a novella that was released after his death. Although Melville was no longer well-known to the general public at the time of his death, a Melville renaissance began in 1919, the year of his birth. In the end, Moby-Dick was regarded as one of the best American novels. The third child of a wealthy merchant who died in 1832, leaving the family in terrible financial shape, Melville was born in New York City. He sailed as a common sailor in 1839, first as a whaler Acushnet and subsequently as a merchant ship. However, he abandoned ship in the Marquesas Islands. His first work, Typee, and its follow-up, Omoo (1847), were travelogues inspired by his interactions with the island peoples. He was able to marry Elizabeth Shaw, the daughter of Boston lawyer Lemuel Shaw, because to their prosperity. His debut novel not drawn from personal experience, Mardi (1849), was not well received.
