His own experiences as a sailor on merchant and whaling ships in the South Pacific profoundly influenced his work. \u003ci\u003eMoby Dick\u003c\/i\u003e (1851), today considered one of the greatest novels in history, was a commercial and critical failure in its time, leading to Melville's obscurity. He spent the last decades of his life working as a customs inspector, and his genius was not rediscovered until the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 864\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herman Melville\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Valdemar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition:\u003c\/b\u003e 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9788477027102\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Valdemar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55173432574278,"sku":"Est5\/Bal1","price":37.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5590\/3302\/files\/MobyDickA.webp?v=1760035634","url":"https:\/\/libreriacasadrojan.com\/en\/products\/moby-dick-ilustrado","provider":"Librería Casa Drojan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
