Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of a maritime adventure, the narrative explores profound themes of obsession and evil through the character of a mad captain fixated on avenging a whale that disfigured him. Drawing from Herman Melville's own seafaring experiences, this edition offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale, enriched by critical analysis and insights into Melville's life and his literary relationship with Nathaniel Hawthorne, including an essay by Melville himself.
