About This Novel

On the occasion of the 170th anniversary of the publication of the novel "Moby-Dick" that was highly praised by Hemingway, Camus and Bob Dylan, the translated version of "Moby-Dick" returns with shock. This book is an ocean novel and an ocean epic, and a brilliant expression of American imagination. Includes all classic Rockwell Kent illustrations. _X000b_Ahab, the captain of the whaling ship "Pelund", was bitten off a leg by the ferocious and clever white whale Moby-Dick during a whaling process. Therefore, he was full of revenge and wanted to hunt down the white whale. He even lost his rationality and became a dictatorial fanatic. His ship traveled almost all over the world and finally encountered Moby Dick. After three days of tracking, he hit the white whale with a harpoon, but the ship was hit by the white whale. Ahab was entangled in the rope on the harpoon and was taken into the sea. All the people on the ship fell into the sea, and only the sailor Ishmael (a name in the Bible, meaning an abandoned person) was saved and came to tell the story to people. The author gave Moby-Dick the color white to symbolize innocence and terror, and the white whale to symbolize the mixture of good and evil, which is also the basic condition of the human world. This novel has become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation due to its rich ideological content, the scale of an epic ship, and its mature and thoughtful writing style. Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) was a famous American illustrator who illustrated many literary works, such as "The Decameron" and "The Canterbury Tales". "Moby-Dick" is a very classic among them, with more than 100 illustrations. It was first published in 1930 and has been sought after by generations of book lovers.
