Description
"As a revelation of human destiny it is too deep even for sorrow", was how D.H. Lawrence characterized MOBY-DICK. Published in the same five-year span as The Scarlet Letter, Walden, and Leaves of Grass, this great adventure of the sea and the life of the soul is the ultimate achievement of that stunning period in American letters.

Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne were contemporaries, friends, and colleagues, and ahead of their times in style and theme. They wrote highly symbolic stories with a darker tone, contemplating human nature and exploring psychological issues in a manner that has stood the test of time. -- Becky Spratford
Although Henry Handel Richardson's protagonists roam across the Australian continent and Herman Melville's protagonists take to the sea, both authors capture the insatiable desire for new horizons and fresh experiences. Relatable characters and rich detail distinguish their work, as does a sense of humanity's modest stature in relation to nature. -- Mike Nilsson
