📖 Description
This excellent edition is listed on the College Board Advanced Placement reading list for AP English. On January 3, 1841, Melville sailed from Fairhaven, Massachusetts on the whaler Acushnet, which was bound for the Pacific Ocean. He was later to comment that his life began that day. The vessel sailed around Cape Horn and traveled to the South Pacific. Melville left little direct accounts of the events of this 18-month voyage, although Moby Dick probably describes many aspects of life on board the Acushnet. This excellent new edition of "Moby Dick" is printed on high quality paper with a beautiful, durable cover.
