Condition: Nuevo. Herman Melville (1819-1891), nacido en el seno de una familia puritana de Nueva York, tuvo una juventud aventurera: a los veintidós años se embarcó en el ballenero Acushnet, desertó dieciocho meses después, y tuvo que vivir una temporada entre caníbales en las Islas Marquesas. A pesar de que nunca recibió una educación universitaria -debido a su necesidad de ganarse la vida- escribió una de las obras más prodigiosas de la literatura universal: Moby Dick. Moby Dick, o la ballena (1851) narra la historia del capitán Ajab, cuya sed de venganza le lleva a recorrer los mares sin descanso a bordo del ballenero Pequod en busca de Moby Dick, la enorme ballena blanca que, años atrás, le amputó una pierna en un feroz enfrentamiento. Toda su existencia gira en torno a una idea fija: volver a encontrarse con el monstruo, darle caza y acabar con su vida. Sólo entonces podrá descansar en paz. Para Melville, la caza de la ballena se transforma en una epopeya mitológica donde los arponeros son como semidioses. Ajab guarda claras analogías con Satán, el dictador del infierno, el seductor, el viajero cósmico «entregado a una desesperada venganza». Su determinación y su espíritu rebelde e indomable llegan a confundirse con la fatalidad de su destino. El odio que siente hacia Moby Dick no proviene de la evidente superioridad física de la ballena, sino de la superioridad intelectual que él le atribuye. Esta edición de Valdemar reproduce las cerca de 300 ilustraciones que realizó Rockwell Kent -uno de los grandes maestros de la ilustración en EEUU- para la histórica edición de 1930 de The Lakeside Press de Chicago.

Pappe. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Zwei MP3-CDs und eine fadengeheftete Broschur mit Leinenrücken im illustrierten Pappeinband mit Rückentitel im illustrierten Schmuckschuber. Der Schuber mit einzelnen leichten Kratzer, der Rücken mit kleiner Druckstelle, die MP3-CDs mit einzelnen dezenten Kratzern, ansonsten guter bis sehr guter Erhaltungszustand. "Die erste ungekürzte, unbearbeitete Hörbuchaufnahme in der ?besten deutschen Moby-Dick-Übersetzung aller Zeiten.? (Fluke.) Christian Brückner liest: Moby-Dick von Herman Melville. Die Rathjen-Übersetzung auf MP3. Moby-Dick war für Christian Brückner schon früh ein Buch, von dem er wusste: ?Das willst du irgendwann einmal machen. Du kreist um so einen Roman und begreifst allmählich, wie gewaltig und weit er sich auftut? Als er vor Jahren gefragt wurde, welche Schauspielrolle ihn am meisten reizen würde, entschied Brückner sich spontan für Kapitän Ahab, ?weil er ein so besessener Typ ist, der alles beiseite fegt für seine große Leidenschaft.? Jetzt hat Brückner nicht nur die Rolle des Ahab übernommen, sondern gleich den ganzen Moby-Dick gesprochen. Den Anstoß hierfür gab die Neuübersetzung von Friedhelm Rathjen, die Brückner bei einer öffentlichen Marathonlesung des Romans im Kölner Literaturhaus kennen gelernt hatte. (Sie dauerte zweieinhalb Tage.) Brückner hatte bereits Melvilles Erzählung ?Bartleby? und Jean Gionos Melville-Hommage auf CD eingelesen. Jetzt hat er sich für viele Wochen ins Aufnahmestudio zurückgezogen, um die erste vollständige Fassung des Riesenromans als Hörbuch zu lesen. ?Diese Neuübersetzung von Melvilles Jahrhundertroman nimmt Moby-Dick entschlossen für die literarische Moderne in Anspruch. Und wer Rathjens Text liest, erkennt unschwer, dass viele Elemente des Buchs über die klassische Moderne hinaus in die Postmoderne eines Thomas Pynchon oder Don DeLillo weisen. Diese Übersetzung macht es den deutschen Lesern möglich, den Roman als das zu entdecken, was Moby-Dick in der amerikanischen Literatur immer gewesen ist: ein Buch des 20. Jahrhunderts, das zufällig bereits 1851 erschienen ist.? David Eisermann, WDR. ?Es ist keineswegs so, dass wir nicht mit guten Übersetzungen dieses Meisterwerks amerikanischer Literatur versorgt wären. Diese Übertragung von Friedhelm Rathjen jedoch versucht mehr als andere, möglichst nahe am Original zu bleiben, nichts zu glätten, zu harmonisieren, dem Zeitgeschmack anzupassen. Jetzt haben wir ein wüstes Werk vor uns von Ishmael, der daran dachte, ?den wässrigen Teil der Erde besehen? zu müssen. Das ist von erzählerischer Wucht ebenso wie von philosophischer Intelligenz.? Salzburger Nachrichten." (Verlagstext) In deutscher Sprache. 63, (1) pages. 8° (136 x 218mm).

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good binding. Octavo. xxxi, [1], 822, [6] pp., illus. As issued, in publisher's black cloth, lacking dust jacket. Binding rubbed and hinges a trifle loose; nevertheless, it presents fairly well. Contemporary gift inscription on the front free endpaper dated 1936, otherwise, internally clean. Three asterisks stamped beneath the imprint on the title page--a stamp seen on other, but not all copies of the Cassell edition, nevertheless likely from the publisher. This appears to be the first English edition, though the binding does not have the title stamped in gilt on the front cover as seen in other examples. Tanselle, in his A Checklist of Editions of Moby-Dick, 1851-1976, writes of the first, quarto edition of Kent's work: "The most elaborate physical presentation which had been accorded to Moby-Dick up to this time, and one of the finest examples of bookmaking to found among all the editions of his work. Kent's illustrations are now perhaps the best-known illustrations for Moby-Dick and are certainly among the most effective" (from Tanselle, No. 17). And indeed, Kent's illustration is singular and captured in this present Cassell edition (Tanselle, No. 18a) which was printed by the Lakeside Press, after a second or trade edition in a reduced-size, one-volume format (as here) was printed for Random House.
