Synopsis "Moby Dick (in Spanish)"

Tuvieron que pasar muchos años desde su publicación en 1851 para que Moby Dick fuera finalmente juzgada como una de las grandes obras de la literatura universal. En la actualidad ya no se le disputa semejante consideración a este libro de extraordinaria riqueza, que encierra en sus páginas un relato de aventuras, un tratado sobre ballenas y balleneros, y, ante todo, una compleja reflexión sobre el ser humano, simbolizada en la búsqueda de la venganza del atormentado capitán Ahab. Muchas y muy variadas han sido las interpretaciones de esta novela, claro ejemplo de libro abierto, que sugiere para que después el lector interprete, y que ofrece una poderosa muestra del arte de narrar de Herman Melville, cuyo relato, como afirma Gustavo Martín Garzo, en el prólogo, «llegará a ser tan vivo y convincente que nadie que lo haya leído alguna vez podrá olvidarlo jamás».

Herman Melville (New York, August 1, 1819-New York, September 28, 1891)1 was an American writer, novelist, poet, and essayist from the American Renaissance period. Among his most famous novels are Typee (1846), based on his experiences in Polynesia, and the novel Moby Dick (1851),1 considered his masterpiece and a classic of world literature

Between 1853 and 1855, he published a series of stories in Putnam Magazine, most of which were collected in The Piazza Tales, including two of Melville's most important narratives: the story Bartleby, the Scrivener and the novella Benito Cereno. Also featured is the story The Encantadas, consisting of ten sketches about the Galapagos Islands linked by a single narrator. In 1857, The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, also known as The Confidence-Man, was the last prose fiction work he published. Seeking financial stability, he abandoned writing, accepting a position as a customs inspector

In his later years, in which he also had to endure the death of two of his brothers as well as the death of two of his sons, Clarence, from tuberculosis, and Malcolm from a possible suicide, as well as the death of another of his sons at thirty-five years old, Stanwix Melville, he dedicated himself to writing poetry. Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, from 1866, is a poetic reflection on the Civil War and Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, a fictional epic poem, published in 1876. The novel Billy Budd, which he left unfinished and was posthumously published in London in 1924, is considered one of the most significant works of American literature.
