Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a novel by American writer Herman Melville, published in 1851 during the period of the American Renaissance. Sailor Ishmael tells the story of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, the white whale that on the previous whaling voyage bit off Ahab's leg at the knee. The novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891, but during the 20th century, its reputation as a Great American Novel was established.

作者简介

赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(Herman Melville,1819-1891),19世纪美国最伟大的小说家、散文家和诗人之一,与纳撒尼尔·霍桑齐名,梅尔维尔生前没有引起应有的重视,在20世纪二十年代声名鹊起,被普遍认为是美国文学的巅峰人物之一。 英国作家毛姆认为他的《白鲸》是世界十大文学名著之一,其文学史地位更在马克·吐温等人之上。梅尔维尔也被誉为美国的“莎士比亚”。
