About Herman Melville

Herman Melville (1819–1891) was an American novelist, short-story writer, essayist, and poet who is often classified as part of dark romanticism. He is best known for his novel Moby Dick and novella Billy Budd, the latter which was published posthumously. His first three books gained much attention, the first becoming a bestseller, but after a fast-blooming literary success in the late 1840s, his popularity declined precipitously in the mid-1850s and never recovered during his lifetime. When he died, he was almost completely forgotten. It was not until the "Melville Revival" in the early twentieth century that his work won recognition, most notably Moby Dick, which was hailed as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature.

Saya memilih membaca versi ringkas karena waktu. Walau versi ringkas, cerita novel ini cukup apik dan mungkin membuat kita mengerti garis besar keseluruhan cerita versi asli. Tujuan saya membaca novel ini hanya ingin tahu garis besar cerita, bukan ingin menelaah isi novel keseluruhan dari segala asp......more

Dibanding membaca aslinya yang lebih dari 500 halaman, jelas ini akan sangat membantu untuk memahami dan menikmati ceritanya. Toh, perkara informasi mengenai glosarium istilah kelautan dan catatan lainnya bisa didapatkan dari mana saja. Versi ringkasan ini benar-benar singkat dan padat dengan menggu......more

Goodreads review by Adrie on December 01, 2021

Sebuah ringkasan yang tak disangka sangat menegangkan bahkan tidak mengurangi nilai utama dari ceritanya, setelah baca ringkasan ini rasanya ingin sekali membaca moby dick secara menyeluruh untuk bisa masuk lebih dalan lagi bagaimana petualangan kapal Pequod di lautan.......more
