By Herman Melville (writer), Fernando Velasco Garrido (translator)

It is a deluxe edition, with an impeccable translation, carefully annotated, absolutely faithful to the first American edition of this novel, "Moby-Dick", considered to be the great prose epic of the contemporary Western world. Conceived by Herman Melville as an American response to the great European literature of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, "Moby-Dick" collects the romantic and gothic tradition giving shape to an epic poem in singular prose that has ended up occupying in the United States the position of great national novel.
