Herman Melville’s epic story of obsession and revenge, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line.

When Ishmael signs up for a whaling voyage, the dark prophecies of a stranger hint at the perils of boarding the Pequod. Ishmael joins anyway, and meets Captain Ahab, who is hell-bent on vengeance against Moby-Dick, the sperm whale that took Ahab’s leg some years ago. Largely panned by critics on its initial publication, Moby-Dick has since been hailed as a “Great American Novel” and, according to D. H. Lawrence, “the greatest book of the sea ever written.”

About the Author

Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and poet. His first two books gained much attention, though they were not bestsellers, and his popularity declined precipitously only a few years later. By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, Moby-Dick—largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville’s fall from favor with the reading public—was rediscovered in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature.
