Nowhere is the turbulent genius of Moby Dick's creator more perfectly and skillfully revealed than in the epic sea adventures included in this volume. For imagination, originality and high romance they can scarcely be Paralleled in our national literature. " They are," observes Raymond Weaver in his introduction, "coming to be chosen as mar ing the supreme technical achievement of. Melville. They hold within the small compass of their beauty the essence of the author's supreme artistry."
