O ovoj e-knjizi
The truth is, my wife, like all the rest of the world, cares not a fig for my philosophical jabber. Thus wrote Melville in 1856, in the house where he had penned 'Moby-Dick" some six years earlier (Arrowhead in Pittsfield, Massachusetts). An allegorical tale that reveals a very unsettling home life and professional life for this American genius, who by the time this story was published was nearly forgotten. (Goodreads)
O autoru
Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet whose work has left an indelible mark on American literature. Born in New York City, Melville's early life was marked by financial instability and a series of adventures that would later fuel his literary imagination. He spent several years at sea, experiences that profoundly influenced his writing and provided the raw material for his most celebrated works.Melville's literary career began with the publication of "Typee" (1846) and "Omoo" (1847), semi-autobiographical tales of his adventures in the South Seas, which brought him early fame. However, his later works, such as "Moby-Dick" (1851), initially perplexed both critics and readers with their complex narrative structures and philosophical depth. Today, "Moby-Dick" is hailed as one of the greatest American novels, a profound exploration of obsession, humanity, and the natural world.Melville's later years were marked by relative obscurity and financial hardship, but his work experienced a renaissance in the early 20th century, earning him posthumous recognition as a literary genius. His innovative narrative techniques and deep psychological insights influenced contemporary writers such as William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald.Melville's revolutionary ideas about individuality, society, and the human condition resonate with modern readers, offering timeless reflections on the complexities of existence. His life and work continue to be a source of fascination and scholarly study, underscoring his enduring legacy in the canon of American literature.
