1937 Moby Dick Herman Melville Whaling Voyage Rockwell Kent Illustrated ART

“I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.”

― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

‘Moby Dick’ is perhaps the most famous sea adventure novel of the 19^th-century. First appearing in periodicals, Herman Melville’s most famous work saw an initial mix of responses on its way to becoming a ‘Great American Novel’, even causing authors like William Faulkner to wish they had written the book themselves. While the work itself is a story of hunting the great whale Moby Dick, it is written with themes on social class, good and evil, and even the existence of God.

This valuable 1937 DeLuxe edition was published by Garden City Publishing and includes famous illustrations by Rockwell Kent. The Kent illustrated editions are considered the best of all ‘Moby Dick’ printings and are known to have propelled ‘Moby Dick’ to the classic status it has today.
