书籍简介

在赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(Herman Melville)的《白鲸》(Moby - Dick)中，亚哈船长是一个怪异而又引人注目的疯子，他把自己凝重的仇恨和痛苦(以及他之前几代人的仇恨和痛苦)集中在追求一种生物上，这种生物就像大海本身一样广阔、危险而又未知。这不仅仅是一部冒险小说，更是一篇令人难以忘怀的社会评论，其中不乏文学作品中一些经久不衰的人物。

《白鲸》以救赎式的幽默写成，是对性格、信仰和感知本质的深刻而永恒的探索。

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. In Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Captain Ahab is an eerily compelling madman who focuses his distilled hatred and suffering (and that of generations before him) into the pursuit of a creature as vast, dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. More than just a novel of adventure, this is a haunting social commentary populated with some of the most enduring characters in literature.

Written with wonderfully redemptive humour, Moby Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith and the nature of perception.

作者简介

赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(1819 - 1891)的写作生涯很早就达到了巅峰，他的早期小说如《泰比》成为了畅销书。到19世纪50年代中期，他的声望急剧下降，到他去世时，他基本上已被人遗忘。然而，随着时间的推移，他的小说《白鲸》被认为是美国乃至世界文学史上优秀的作品之一。《比利·巴德》直到1924年他去世很久之后才出版。

The writing career of Herman Melville (1819 - 1891) peaked early, with his early novels, such as Typee becoming best sellers. By the mid-1850s his poularity declined sharply, and by the time he died he had been largely forgotten. Yet in time his novel Moby Dick came to be regarded as one of the finest works of American, and indeed world, literature, as was Billy Budd, which was not published until long after his death, in 1924.
