HERBERT MELVILLE and MOBY DICK

Herbert Melville

When I learned that in publishing 'Moby Dick' poor Mr Melville went bankrupt, I was seriously disillusioned. How the author of such a work should be allowed by the publishing world to wither and die, is beyond me. The author simply was not appreciated in his time. But, I'm pleased to say, his story went on to become a Hollywood classic.
