The translation and notes are by Julia Lavid, and the cover is by Ángel Uriarte. The book belongs to the Biblioteca de El Sol collection, number 63.
For readers of classic fiction and sea stories, interested in American literature.
Herman Melville was an American writer of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851), Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia, and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was not well known to the public, but 1919, the centennial of his birth, was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick would eventually be considered one of the Great American Novels.
