书籍简介

“世界上奇特也精彩的书之一。”——D·H·劳伦斯

《白鲸》讲述了一个关于海洋、捕鲸和痴迷的神秘故事，它以独特的美国视角，呼应了和莎士比亚作品的主题，至今仍令人着迷。这部史诗巨著在1851年出版时，曾遭到读者和评论家的冷遇，并在作者赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的余生中饱受争议。然而，在他去世后，这部作品却经历了戏剧性的重新发现和评价。在20世纪初，它被誉为“伟大的美国小说”的典范。1930年湖畔出版社出版的版本，配以洛克威尔·肯特简洁有力的钢笔画插图，生动地展现了梅尔维尔这部杰作的戏剧性、美感和暴力，这无疑进一步推动了它的流行。

《白鲸》五大经典版本收录了洛克威尔·肯特绘制的 270 多幅插图、完整文本、术语表、裴廓德号航行的详细地图，以及赫尔曼·梅尔维尔和洛克威尔·肯特的传记。

“One of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world.” —D.H. Lawrence

An enigmatic tale of the sea, whaling, and obsession, Moby-Dick echoes themes from the Bible and the works of Shakespeare in a uniquely American story that continues to fascinate and enthrall today. Spurned by readers and critics alike upon its initial publication in 1851 and for the rest of the author’s life, Herman Melville’s epic novel underwent a dramatic rediscovery and reappraisal after his death. During the early years of the 20th century, it came to define the Great American Novel. This spurred and was, in turn, boosted by the 1930 Lakeside Press edition that featured Rockwell Kent’s stark pen-and-ink illustrations that captured the drama, beauty, and violence of Melville’s masterpiece.

This Top Five Classics edition of Moby-Dick features all of the more than 270 illustrations by Rockwell Kent, the unabridged text, a glossary of terms, a detailed map of the voyage of the Pequod, and biographies of Herman Melville and Rockwell Kent.

作者简介

赫尔曼·梅尔维尔于1819年出生于纽约市，他的祖父母都是美国独立战争英雄。1845年，他出版了小说《泰皮》（Typee），由此开启了他的写作生涯。这部小说以虚构的方式讲述了他在南太平洋的捕鲸船和海军舰艇上三年半的海上冒险经历。该书的成功使梅尔维尔得以创作了四部小说，其中包括《奥穆》（Omoo，1847年），之后他于1851年出版了其代表作《白鲸》。《白鲸》出版之初反响平平，这部作品和作者都逐渐被人遗忘，直到1891年作者去世数十年后才重见天日。20世纪初，人们对这位作家及其作品进行了彻底的重新评价，《白鲸》也被公认为美国历史上伟大的小说之一。

Herman Melville was born in 1819 in New York City, the grandson of two Revolutionary War heroes. He began his career as an author in 1845 with the publication of the novel Typee, which recounted and fictionalized some of his adventures over three and a half years at sea on whaling and naval ships in the South Pacific. The book's success enabled Melville to write four more novels, including Omoo (1847) before publishing his masterpiece, Moby-Dick, in 1851. Met with an indifferent response when it was published, the book and author fell into obscurity until decades after the author passed away in 1891. In the early part of the twentieth century, the author and his work would undergo a radical reappraisal, and Moby-Dick would be recognized as one of the truly Great American Novels ever written.
