Moby Dick or, The Whale by Herman Melville (Hardcover)

Description: About this productProduct InformationThis trade edition of Moby-Dick is a reduced version of the Arion Press Moby-Dick, which was published in 1979 in a limited edition of 250 copies and has been hailed as a modern masterpiece of bookmaking. It was hand set under the supervision of one of America's finest book designers and printers. The initial letters that begin each chapter were designed especially for this book and christened "Leviathan." The illustrations, of places, creatures, objects or tools, and processes connected with nineteenth-century whaling, are original boxwood engravings by Massachusetts artist Barry Moser. The text of Moby-Dick used in this edition is based on that used in the critical edition of Melville's works published by the Northwestern University Press and the Newberry Library. This reduced version is smaller in size than the Arion edition and the California deluxe edition, but it includes all of the original pages and illustrations. It is printed in black only throughout, and it is not slipcased.Product IdentifiersPublisherUniversity of California PressISBN-100520043545ISBN-139780520043541eBay Product ID (ePID)1012143Product Key FeaturesBook TitleMoby Dick Or, the WhaleAuthorHerman MelvilleFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishFeaturesReprintTopicPsychological, General, Literary, Action & Adventure, European / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshPublication Year1981GenreLiterary Criticism, FictionNumber of Pages608 PagesDimensionsItem Length10.1inItem Height1.7inItem Width7inItem Weight43.2 OzAdditional Product FeaturesVolume NumberVol. 6Edition DescriptionReprintReviewsAndrew Hoyem's Arion Press edition of Moby Dick , published in San Francisco in 1979, in an edition of 265 total copies, is considered one of the two or three greatest American fine press books ever. . . .a trade edition published by University of California Press retains the look of the type and the illustrations, done in woodcut by Barry Moser.Table of ContentETYMOLOGY EXTRACTS CHAPTER I Loomings 2 The Carpet Bag 3 The Spouter-Inn 4 The Counterpane 5 Breakfast 6 The Street 7 The Chapel 8 The Pulpit 9 The Sermon 1O A Bosom Friend II Nightgown I2 Biographical I3 Wheelbarrow I4 Nantucket IS Chowder I6 The Ship I7 The Ramadan I8 His Mark I9 The Prophet 20 All Astir 2I Going Aboard 22 Merry Christmas 23 The Lee Shore 24 The Advocate 25 Postscript 26 Knights and Squires 27 Knights and Squires 28 Ahab 29 Enter Ahab; to him, Stubb 30 The Pipe 3I Queen Mab 32 Cetology 33 The Specksynder 34 The Cabin Table 35 The Mast-Head 36 The Quarter-Deck · Ahab and all 37 Sunset 38 Dusk 39 First Night-Watch 40 Forecastle-Midnight 41 Moby Dick 42 The Whiteness of the Whale 43 Hark! 44 The Chart 45 The Affidavit 46 Surmises 47 The Mat-Maker 48 The First Lowering 49 The Hyena 50 Ahab''s Boat and Crew-Fedallah 51 The Spirit-Spout 52 The Pequod meets the Albatross 53 The Gam 54 The Town Ho''s Story 55 Monstrous Pictures of Whales 56 Less Erroneous Pictures of Whales 57 Of Whales in Paint, in Teeth, &c. 58 Brit 59 Squid 6o The Line 61 Stubb kills a Whale 62 The Dart 63 The Crotch 64 Stubb''s Supper 65 The Whale as a Dish 66 The Shark Massacre 67 Cutting In 68 The Blanket 69 The Funeral 70 The Sphynx 71 The Pequod meets the Jeroboam ·Her Story 72 The Monkey-rope 73 Stubb and Flask kill a Right Whale 74 The Sperm Whale''s Head 75 The Right Whale''s Head 76 The Battering Ram 77 The great Heidelburgh Tun 78 Cistern and Buckets 79 The Prairie 8o The Nut 8I The Pequod meets the Virgin 82 The Honor and glory of Whaling 83 Jonah Historically Regarded 84 Pitch poling 85 The Fountain 86 The Tail 87 The Grand Armada 88 Schools & Schoolmasters 89 Fast Fish and Loose Fish 90 Heads or Tails 91 The Pequod meets the Rose Bud 92 Ambergris 93 The Castaway 94 A Squeeze of the Hand 95 The Cassock 96 The Try-Works 97 The Lamp 98 Stowing Down & Clearing Up 99 The Doubloon IOO The Pequod meets the Samuel Enderby of London IOI The Decanter I02 A Bower in the Arsacides I03 Measurement of the Whale''s Skeleton I04 The Fossil Whale I05 Does the Whale Diminish?
