Sobre IBD

'Moby-Dick, or, The Whale' is an 1851 novel written by American author Herman Melville. The story is told by Ishmael, a sailor aboard a whaling ship captained by Ahab who embarks on an obsessive quest for revenge against a giant sperm whale that bit off his leg on a previous voyage. Originally receiving mixed reviews, 'Moby Dick' was a failure when first published and was no longer in print when Melvillie died in 1891. Today, however, it is considered a 'Great American Novel' known the world over. 'Moby-Dick, or, The Whale' is highly recommended for all lovers of literature and deserves a place on every bookshelf. Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American short story writer, poet, and novelist during the American Renaissance period. Other notable works by this author include: 'Typee' (1846), 'Bartleby, the Scrivener' (1853), and 'The Encantadas' (1854). Read & Co. Classics is republishing this classic novel now complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. 3
