A restless sailor named Ishmael signs up for what he believes will be an adventurous whaling voyage, but quickly finds himself aboard the Pequod, a ship with a far darker purpose.
Herman Melville was born in New York City in 1819 to a once-wealthy family. After his father's death left them impoverished, Melville went to sea, drawing inspiration from his experiences for later works. His time aboard the whaling ship Acushnet inspired Typee, a semi-autobiographical novel about his adventures.By the mid-1800s, Melville aimed to create more ambitious works. His most famous novel, Moby Dick (1851), explored themes of nature and obsession but initially failed commercially. Other works like Pierre also struggled to find success.Later, Melville turned to poetry and worked as a customs inspector in New York. His poems, like Battle Pieces, examined themes of war and America. Only in the 20th century was his literary genius fully recognized, with Moby Dick now hailed as one of America's greatest novels.
