About the author

Herman Melville

1819–1891

Best known for Moby-Dick, he turned years of hard travel at sea into fiction that feels both adventurous and deeply thoughtful. His books move from South Seas storytelling to dark, searching questions about obsession, fate, and what people really understand about one another.
