Melville in Love: The Secret Life of Herman Melville and the Muse of Moby-Dick by Michael Shelden
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 2.4MB
Overview: A new account of Herman Melville and the writing of Moby Dick, written by a Pulitzer Finalist in Biography and based on fresh archival research, which reveals that the anarchic spirit animating Melville’s canonical work, Moby-Dick, was inspired by his great love affair with a shockingly unconventional married woman.
Herman Melville’s epic novel, Moby Dick, was a spectacular failure when it was published in 1851, effectively ending its author’s rise to literary fame. Because he was neglected by academics for so long, and because he made little effort to preserve his legacy, we know very little about Melville, and even less about what he called his “wicked book.” Scholars still puzzle over what drove Melville to invent Captain Ahab’s mad pursuit of the great white whale.
