Description
Moby Dick, c’est la monstrueuse baleine blanche, l’incarnation du Mal, cette figure de l’obsession et du double qui, des profondeurs glacées, accompagne le capitaine Achab habitué en surface aux combats titanesques des océans. Moby Dick est ce chef-d’œuvre total que tout le monde peut lire comme le plus formidable des romans d’aventures ; la quête aussi d’une humanité embarquée de force à bord d’une histoire qui reste pour elle un mystère... « Lire Moby Dick ? Ce n’est pas seulement faire provision d’embruns et de bourlingue. C’est se frotter au roman le plus mythique des lettres américaines. » André Clavel. Lire « L’un des mythes les plus bouleversants qu’on ait imaginés sur le combat de l’homme contre le mal. » Albert Camus Texte français et postface d'Armel Guerne Né le 1er août 1819 à New York, orphelin de père à treize ans, Herman Melville a beaucoup bourlingué. Cet écrivain immense, non reconnu de son vivant, s’est éteint à New York en septembre 1891. Il ne s’était alors trouvé qu’un seul journal pour lui consacrer une notice nécrologique de trois ou quatre lignes. La renommée l’a depuis rattrapé. Il est considéré comme l’une des plus grandes figures de la littérature mondiale.
