Moby-Dick: or, The Whale白鲸：还是鲸鱼白鲸
赫尔曼·梅尔维尔1819年8月1日出生于纽约市，是一位商人的儿子。当父亲破产去世时，年仅12岁的年轻赫尔曼曾尝试过银行职员、去利物浦旅行时的小木屋男孩和小学教师的工作，然后于1841年1月乘坐捕鲸船Acushnet驶往太平洋。第二年，他弃船前往马奎萨斯，前往塔希提岛和火奴鲁鲁，作为普通海员乘坐美国护卫舰返回波士顿，并于1844年10月在波士顿退役。基于这些冒险故事的书使他立即获得了成功。

- 1850年，他结婚了，在马萨舒塞茨皮茨菲尔德附近获得了一个农场（在那里他是纳撒尼尔·霍桑冲动的朋友和邻居），并努力创作他的杰作《白鲸》。但文学上的成功很快就消失了；他的复杂性越来越疏远读者。1857年1月，他访问圣地后，从写散文小说转向写诗。1863年，在内战期间，他搬回纽约市，从1866年至1885年，他在那里担任海关的副检查员，1891年，他在那里去世。《水手比利·巴德》是最后一部散文作品的草稿，没有完成，也没有整理，被他的遗孀收拾得整整齐齐，直到1924年被重新发现并出版。

内容简介
From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers—featuring cover art by Jessica Hische
It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's recent film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hische's hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series debuted with an 'A' for Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a 'B' for Charlotte Br?nte's Jane Eyre, and a 'C' for Willa Cather's My ántonia. It continues with more perennial classics, perfect to give as elegant gifts or to showcase on your own shelves.
M is for Melville, who wrote of his masterpiece, "It is the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships' cables and hawsers. A Polar wind blows through it, and birds of prey hover over it." In part, Moby-Dick is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, Moby-Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.
