Autorenporträt
Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet, best known for his masterpiece Moby-Dick. Born in New York City, he worked as a sailor, an experience that deeply influenced his maritime-themed fiction. His early novels, such as Typee and Omoo, were popular adventure tales, but Moby-Dick (1851), a complex and symbolic exploration of obsession and the human condition, was not widely appreciated in his lifetime. Later in life, he turned to poetry and wrote Billy Budd, Sailor, published posthumously. Rediscovered in the 20th century, Melville is now regarded as one of the greatest American writers
