Journals: Volume Fifteen
ISBN: 9780810108233 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 683 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume presents Melville's three known journals. Unlike his contemporaries Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Melville kept no habitual record of his days and thoughts; each of his three journals records his actions and observations on trips far from home. In this edition's Historical Note, Howard C. Horsford places each of the journals in the context of Melville's career, discusses its general character, and points out the later literary uses he made of it, notably in Moby-Dick, Clarel, and his magazine pieces. The editors supply full annotations of Melville's allusions and...

Moby-Dick (1851). by: Herman Melville: Novel, Adventure Fiction, Epic, Sea Story, Encyclopedic Novel.
ISBN: 9781542380379 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Moby-Dick
ISBN: 9780553213119 / Angielski / Miękka (mass market paperbound / 1981 / 670 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. No American masterpiece casts quite as awesome a shadow as Melville's monumental Moby Dick. Mad Captain Ahab's quest for the White Whale is a timeless epic--a stirring tragedy of vengeance and obsession, a searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity. It is the greatest sea story ever told. Far ahead of its own time, Moby Dick was largely misunderstood and unappreciated by Melville's contemporaries. Today, however, it is indisputably a classic. As D.H. Lawrence wrote, Moby Dick -commands a stillness in the soul, an awe . . . It is] one of the...

Mardi and a Voyage Thither: Volume Three
ISBN: 9780810116900 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 681 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Presented as narratives of his own South Sea experiences, Melville's first two books had roused incredulity in many readers. Their disbelief, he declared, had been "the main inducement" in altering his plan for his third book, Mardi: and a Voyage Thither (1849). Melville wanted to exploit the "rich poetical material" of Polynesia and also to escape feeling "irked, cramped, & fettered" by a narrative of facts. "I began to feel . . . a longing to plume my pinions for a flight," he told his English publisher. Mardi began as a sequel to Typee (1846) and Omoo...
