书籍简介

赫尔曼·麦尔维尔（1819-1891），美国文学史上杰出的浪漫主义小说家之一，《白鲸》是他的代表作。捕鲸船“裴廊德”号船长亚哈，在一次捕鲸过程中，被凶残聪明的白鲸莫比-迪克咬掉了一条腿，因此他满怀复仇之念，一心想追捕这条白鲸，竟至失去理性，变成一个独断独行的偏热症狂。他的船几乎兜遍了全世界经历辗转，终于与莫比-迪克遭遇。经过三天追踪，他用鱼叉击中白鲸，但船被白鲸撞破，亚哈被鱼叉上的绳子缠住，带人海中。全船人落海，只有水手以实玛利（意为被遗弃的人）一人得救，来向人们讲述这个故事。作者赋予莫比-迪克的白色象征天真无邪和恐怖，以白鲸象征善和恶的混合，这也是人世的基本状况。这部小说以充实的思想内容、史诗船的规模和成熟、深思性质的文笔，成为传世佳作。

When the young sailor "Ishmael" decides to sail on the Pequod with the mysterious Captain Ahab, he has no idea about Ahab's plans to get revenge on the great white whale Moby Dick. Ahab wants to find and kill the whale at any cost - even if it means losing his ship and his crew.

作者简介

赫尔曼·麦尔维尔（Herman Melville, 1819 -1891），19世纪美国杰出小说家，代表作《白鲸》被毛姆列入“世界文学十大小说”。早年在捕鲸船上当过水手，这深刻影响了他日后的写作。生前并未引起足够重视，过世后三十年声名鹊起。被誉为美国的“莎士比亚”。

Herman Melville (1819-91) became in his late twenties a highly successful author of exotic novels based on his experiences as a sailor - writing in quick succession Typee, Omoo, Redburn and White-Jacket. However, his masterpiece Moby-Dick was met with incomprehension and the other later works which are now the basis of his reputation, such as Bartleby, the Scrivener and The Confidence-Man, were failures. Melville stopped writing fiction and the rest of his long life was spent first as a lecturer and then, for nineteen years, as a customs official in New York City. He was also the author of the immensely long poem Clarel, which was similarly dismissed. At the end of his life he wrote Billy Budd, Sailor which was published posthumously in 1924.
