OverviewMoby Dick by Herman Melville is today considered one of the greatest novels written in America but paradoxically, it was a miserable failure when it first made its debut in 1851. Entitled Moby Dick or The Whale the book finally got its due after the author's death and is now regarded as a classic portrayal of mania and fatal obsession. iBoo Classics This and some of other iBoo Classics are collected from the Guardiand's, the Telegraph's and BBC's the 100 greatest novels of all time list. iBoo Press House uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationThe writing career of Herman Melville (1819 - 1891) peaked early, with his early novels, such as Typee becoming best sellers. By the mid-1850s his poularity declined sharply, and by the time he died he had been largely forgotten. Yet in time his novel Moby Dick came to be regarded as one of the finest works of American, and indeed world, literature, as was Billy Budd, which was not published until long after his death, in 1924.
