Moby Dick or the Whale - Illustrated by Rockwell Kent
Moby Dick or the White Whale, originally penned by Herman Melville in 1851, is a magnum opus of American literature that delves into the relentless pursuit of the eponymous white whale by Captain Ahab. Set against the vastness of the open sea, this tale is as much an exploration of man's place in the universe as it is a gripping sea adventure. This first edition of the landmark 1930 Random House edition features the classic woodcut illustrations of Rockwell Kent. It was printed by The Lakeside Press of Chicago, under the supervision of William Kittredge.
