Moby Dick (100 Copy Limited Edition), Melville, Herman, VG+ First Edition
Moby Dick (100 Copy Limited Edition),, Melville, Herman, VG+ First Edition. Although the novel was a commercial failure and out of print at the time of the author's death in 1891, its repu tation as a Great American Novel grew during the 20th century. William Faulkner confessed he wished he had written it himself, and D. Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world", and the greatest book of the sea ever written. Moby Dick is considered as an outstanding work of Roman ticism. The product of a year and a half of writing, the book draws on Melville's experience at sea, on his reading in whaling literature, and on literary inspirations such as Shakespeare and the Bible.
In addition to narra tive prose, Melville uses styles and literary devices ranging from songs, poetry and catalogs to Shakespearean stage directions, soliloquies and asides. This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.
