About the Author

Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet. His works are widely regarded as masterpieces of American literature, though he was largely underappreciated during his lifetime. Moby-Dick, published in 1851, is now considered one of the greatest novels ever written. Melville’s experiences at sea, including his time as a whaler, informed much of his writing, particularly in Moby-Dick.
