Herman Melville[a] (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, writer of short stories, and poet from the American Renaissance period. Most of his writings were published between 1846 and 1857. Best known for his sea adventure Typee (1846) and his whaling novel Moby-Dick (1851), he was almost forgotten during the last thirty years of his life. Melville's writing draws on his experience at sea as a common sailor, exploration of literature and philosophy, and engagement in the contradictions of American society in a period of rapid change. The main characteristic of his style is probably its heavy allusiveness, a reflection of his use of written sources. Melville's way of adapting what he read for his own new purposes, scholar Stanley T. Williams wrote, "was a transforming power comparable to Shakespeare's".[1] [mehr]

Das Werk "Moby-Dick; oder: Der Wal" (englisch "Moby-Dick; or, The Whale") ist ein 1851 in London und New York erschienener Roman von Herman Melville. Das erzählerische Rückgrat des Romans ist die schicksalhafte Fahrt des Walfangschiffes "Pequod", dessen Kapitän Ahab mit blindem Hass den weißen Pottwal Moby Dick jagt, der ihm ein Bein abgerissen hat. Entlang dieses erzählerischen Fadens, der knapp die Hälfte des Romans ausmacht, reiht Melville zahlreiche philosophische, wissenschaftliche, kunstgeschichtliche und mythologische Exkurse, zu denen noch viele subjektive, mal lyrische, mal auch ironische Betrachtungen des Autors kommen. In diesem Rahmen wird auch die Welt des Walfangs im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert detailreich dargestellt. Melville widmete seinen Roman "Moby-Dick" dem befreundeten Schriftsteller Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Ein kleiner Hinweis: Ich stehe für Fragen zur Interpretation der Geschichte gerne bereit. Auch wenn das Ende eigentlich alles gut erklären dürfte. Zum Inhalt: Würde Moby Dick seinen Schöpfer hassen? Schließlich geht er nicht gerade zimperlich mit ihm um. Als unser Protagonist unter mysteriösen Umständen in einem seltsamen Gebäude aufwacht, wird er sich am Ende vermutlich genau diese Frage stellen. Es scheint kein Entkommen aus seiner Lage zu geben, so auch ein Zeitungsartikel, der aus der Zukunft zu stammen scheint: "Und jetzt legen sie sich am besten schlafen. Und wachen erst dann wieder auf, wenn dieser Horror ein Ende gefunden hat." [mehr]

Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851) is the sixth book by American writer Herman Melville. The work is an epic sea story of Captain Ahab's voyage in pursuit of Moby Dick, a great white whale. It initially received mixed reviews and at Melville's death in 1891 was remembered, if at all, as a children's sea adventure, but now is considered one of the Great American Novels and a leading work of American Romanticism. The opening line, "Call me Ishmael," is one of the most recognizable opening lines in Western literature. Ishmael then narrates the voyage of the whaleship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ahab has one purpose: revenge on Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg at the knee. The detailed and realistic descriptions of whale hunting and the process of extracting whale oil, as well as life aboard ship among a culturally diverse crew, are mixed with exploration of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of God.
