Meer over het boek

Herman Melville, an influential figure of the American Renaissance, is renowned for his complex narratives and exploration of themes such as obsession and humanity's struggle against nature. His notable works include the celebrated Moby-Dick, a profound exploration of whaling and revenge, and Typee, which reflects his romanticized experiences in Polynesia. Although initially overlooked, Melville's legacy surged during the 20th century, particularly with Moby-Dick's recognition as a cornerstone of American literature.
