Description
Herman Melville's masterpiece of obsession and the untamed sea is a work of imagination that has stood the test of time. This deluxe edition features a Foreword by Nathaniel Philbrick and cover art by Tony Millionaire, and is based on the Northwestern-Newberry edition of Melville's text, approved by the Center for Scholarly Editions and the Center for Editions of American Authors of the MLA. At its heart, Moby-Dick is a story of a man's unyielding pursuit of a creature as vast and mysterious as the sea itself. With wonderfully redemptive humor, Melville explores themes of character, faith, and perception, creating a haunting and mesmerizing narrative that has captivated readers for generations. Penguin Classics is renowned for its authoritative texts, and this edition is no exception. With introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators, readers can trust that they are getting a deeply informed and nuanced understanding of this literary masterpiece.
