br. L'autore del mitico Moby Dick sapeva più di quel che sapeva, e lo diceva in forma di racconto, come imparò affabulando durante i primi viaggi per nave. A volte taceva immobile, perso nella luce di un'estraneità soave e disarmante, altre era preso da un movimento continuo, come quando si lanciava al galoppo nel Berkshire o, come racconta il genero, cambiava continuamente di posto sul traghetto, al limite di una nevrosi gentile. Herman Melville incarnò il proprio tempo (1819-1891) tra viaggi e scenari esotici, svolte del destino, incontri magici, coincidenze, amicizie misteriose - celebre quella con lo scrittore Nathaniel Hawthorne - perdite e distacchi, difficoltà psichiche, audaci e ostinati progetti letterari e ripetuti fallimenti, fino al riconoscimento postumo, che ha segnato la sua definitiva consacrazione tra i classici. Tutto questo viene qui raccontato in una biografia dettagliata, rispettosa delle fonti e del metodo storiografico, ma capace di ripercorrere con sguardo partecipe e qualche libertà interpretativa la vita straordinaria e mutevole di un gigante della letteratura che segnò la via all'epos americano, attraversando con impenetrabile innocenza un secolo zeppo di eventi.

Since 1912, Ottawa's grande dame has always been an integral part of the power and the mystique that permeates the heady atmosphere on Parliament Hill. The legacy of this residence, international meeting place, social centre, and place for friends to meet has been warmly documented here by Joan Rankin." - back cover. Unmarked with moderate wear.

From the flyleaf "Irked by the derogatory reaction of British critics who doubted that such books as Typee and Omoo could have been written by a common American sailor, Melville created Mardi -- on the surface, the record of an odyssey through imagined South Sea world. For the first time, Moore unravels the puzzle Melville created in Mardi, designed to dupe his elitist British readers, by exploring Melville's knowledge of astronomy, nautical navigation, astrology, and game theories. Hennig Cohen's foreword defends the traditional approach to reading Mardi and argues that Moore's heretical interpretation is interesting but narrow in scope. Moore then invites the reader to 'play Mardi'--to engage in games of wit, elaborate metaphor, and arcane learning-- to reveal the full meaning of the novel. The game may be plated most successfully by using the astronomy and astrology of Melville's time, but a knowledge of the Tarot and Ganjifa cards and of the usual Western decks of playing cards will add depth to your understanding. Mardi fulfills Melville's calim to originality and stands unique as a masterpiece of synthesis. Moore demonstrates a circular pattern in which metaphors intertwine and shows how Melville's use of The American Alamanac and his metaphor of time provides unity. She theorizes that Melville was a highly concious artist, capable of manipulating intricate strands of imagery, metaphor, and symbol through a detailed and precise method. Moreover, an elaborate system of puns gives his work an unsuspected economy even where it seems excessively and unnecessarily wordy. Though Mardi fails, perhaps from tediousness and overmanipulation, Melville followed through with the artistic implications in his later and greater books. Moore feels he had a highly developed concept of the errant or deceitful narrator and hoped to force his readers into an intense riddle-solving approach to Mardi."
