Herman Melville is known today primarily for his iconic whaling novel, Moby Dick (1851), the story of the struggle between Captain Ahab and the great white whale, which appears on many lists of greatest books ever written and is considered an essential part of the Western Canon.
Ironically, when the novel was published it was a monumental flop and signaled the end of Melvilles's career as a novelist.
One theory is that the omission of the epilogue from the first printing left the book open to ridicule as a first-person narrative in which the narrator did not survive to tell the tale.
He published several more novels, all without success, and in 1866 became a New York customs inspector, all but forgotten for the next fifty years.
It was not until the rise of the modernist movement that Moby Dick was recognized as a great literary work.
What once were regarded as serious flaws came to be viewed as literary innovations, and the novel went from being criticized as undisciplined and poorly crafted to being hailed as ahead of its time and visionary.
For the modern reader, the complex analytical theories behind Moby Dick may get in the way of enjoying the novel for its own sake.
Taking Moby Dick at face value, it is an interesting tale, rich with diverse characters and evocative themes like friendship, class and social status, good and evil, isolation and community, the existence of God, obsession and human perception.
A vivid depiction of life aboard ship in the nineteenth century it is perhaps.
