Herman Melville's novel
Moby-Dick was first published as
The Whale by Richard Bentley of London in October 18, 1851.
Moby-Dick is now considered by some as the greatest contribution of American letters to world literature. However, after a run of successful seafaring tales, this was the first flop for ex-cabin boy Herman Melville. The centennial of Melville's birth in 1919 became the starting point of a revival of his work, as. critics discovered his major novels and stories, including
Moby-Dick.
