SynopsisAcclaimed by D. H. Lawrence as ""the greatest book of the sea ever written,"" Moby Dick looms large in America's literary consciousness -- and the style and philosophical content of Melville's 1851 epic was generations ahead of its time. Today the chronicle of a vengeful captain's obsessive, self-destructive search for a white whale ranks among the great American novels, and this volume does full justice to its preeminence. Twenty-five glorious woodcut illustrations from the 1930 Albert and Charles Boni version complement the newly reset edition, which also features an abundance of decorative elements., Acclaimed by D.
