  • Herman MELVILLE is an American writer, born in 1819 and died in 1891. He is a novelist, novelist, essayist and poet. He wrote travel stories, used allegory and produced tales. His main works are Omoo (1847), Moby Dick (1851), Peter or the Ambiguities (1852), Benito Cereno (1855), Bartleby (1856), Billy Budd (1891). Following this, Herman MELVILLE became a figure in world literature. During his life, he was a bank clerk, teacher, farm boy and sailor on boats. For his literary career, he was scored by authors James Fenimore Cooper, Walter Scott and Byron. This author is considered one of the greatest American designers, alongside William Faulkner, Henry James or Thomas Pynchon. He had become friends with Nathaniel Hawthorne, and was influenced by his writings. Melville is also the author of stories from his experience as a sailor, Typee, Omoo and Mardi, novels: Redburn, White-Jacket, Pierre or the Ambiguities, The Confidence Man, as well as several short stories, published for the most part in the 1850s in two competing magazines, Putnam's Monthly Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine. - In 1851, Herman MELVILLE wrote Moby Dick. This book was dedicated to his friend, the author Hawthorne. In this book, there is the author's own experience through Ishmael. This novel was forgotten at the death of Melville, and it was only rediscovered in the 1920s. He is now considered one of the greatest figures in American literature. The late success is nevertheless worth it to be the object of very many adaptations, as much in the cinema and on the television as in the theater and in literature. Moby Dick tells the story of Ishmael, a young sailor who wants to go back to sea and decides to embark on a whaling ship. With his companion Queequeg, they engage on the Pequod, the ship of the terrible captain Ahab. At sea, the captain and his crew hunt whales to collect their precious oil which they will then sell in the ports. But Ahab actually pursues another goal: to find Moby Dick, the monstrous white whale who ripped his leg, and to take revenge on her. The crew of Pequod allows Melville to multiply portraits and psychological or social analyzes extremely detailed and detailed. The action taking place on a whaler, the work has often been qualified by the critics of closed universe. The descriptions of whaling, the adventure itself and the reflections of the narrator intertwine in a gigantic woof where are mixed references to History, literature, mythology, philosophy and science .
