Lewis Mumford's pioneering biography helped rescue Herman Melville from obscurity, tracing the seafaring years, the writing of Moby-Dick, and the neglect that followed. Thoughtful and searching, it restores a great American author. An illuminating study for anyone drawn to Melville, the sea, and the tragedy of unrecognized genius.
