About the book
Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a novel by the American writer Herman Melville. It was first published in 1851: in London in October, under the title The Whale, and in New York in November. Melville had gone to sea on a whaling ship himself as a young man in the early 1840s, and he drew on that voyage and on the many books about whales and whaling that he read.
