Herman Melville

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

A whale of a book
Moby Dick by Hermann Melville is considered by many to be the greatest American novel ever written. To come up with such credentials is no meek achievement for a novel, that was floating in wilderness for first sixty years of its existence. The 1851 novel was at best ...

Moby-Dick or, The Whale (Penguin Classics)

Herman Melville

Penguin Classics, 2002

masterpiece
I'm not sure where to begin reviewing. Many of you who are reading this are at least familiar with the title "Moby Dick" or "The Whale", and if you have read this incredible and penetrating book, most of you (I hope) will be in awe from its memories: fearful, heavy, ...

Moby-Dick: or, The Whale (Modern Library Classics)

Herman Melville

Modern Library, 2000

Melville's wicked modern masterpiece
True classic in breadth and depth, its impact attested by contemporary reviews that were as awestruck standing beside it as we remain from a distance. Memorable quotes as Ahab descends into madness and death impelled by a whale of all things: "So far gone am I in ...

Great American Short Stories (Dover Thrift Editions)

Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, ...

Dover Publications, 2002

Title
This is actually a very good book to have. It was bought for a class in English Literature, but it has some good stories in it. I would be willing to read some of the non-assigned stories from this book. Best part- its a small book.

Billy Budd and Other Tales

Moby-Dick (Enriched Classics Series)

Herman Melville

Pocket, 1999

A sometimes incomprehensible, always masterful story containing everything you ever wanted to know about whales and whaling.
This epic story begins, as most readers are aware, with, "Call me Ishmael." Unfortunately, that is where the easy reading ends. It follows the adventures of Ishmael and his friend, cannibal and harpooner Queequeg (my favorite character), as they first meet in Nantucket ...

Moby Dick or the Whale

Herman Melville

The Easton Press, 1977

A deserving edition for a true classic
Moby Dick is one of the great American classic novels. Although it sold very poorly when first published and damaged Melville's established reputation as a writer of exotic novels it has rightfully assumed its place in the canon of great 19th century novels. I won't ...

great edition here, footnoted text and relevant criticism
This book includes both the text of Melville's short works (Bartleby, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd)-approx 175 pages, and approx 225 pages of contexts (which are just what they sound like, historical background regarding each work, something I find invaluable when ...

Herman Melville : Redburn, White-Jacket, Moby-Dick (Library of America)

Herman Melville, George Thomas Tanselle

Library of America, 1983

Brilliant Presages of Moby-Dick
While White-Jacket seems to have little overall relation to Melville's other works in the sense that it appears as a self-contained, highly enjoyable novel, Redburn is one of those central turning points in this great writer's life that makes it extraordinarily ...
