"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.
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.
Where he is the Leviathan, king of the deep.

“有些人死在退潮里;有些人死在浅水滩里;有些人却死在洪水里。” ——第一百三十五章,亚哈最后一次追击白鲸时,对阻拦他的大副斯达巴克说 和许多别的伟大小说不同,《白鲸》里,“爱”几乎是缺席的。 这个字与它所代表的感情只在小说开头,以实玛利向魁魁格剖白时...

评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...
评分每个人心中都有一个莫比迪克,一个恐惧却又想对人证明自己能征服的对象,而这个莫比迪克始终是无敌的,因为它压根没有把谁当做敌人,它被冒犯而咬掉亚哈的腿,这也并不是出于什么情感因素,只不过是动物的一种本能反应而已。亚哈愣是赋予了它感情因素,仇恨情节,似乎是莫...
