Moby-Dick: A Picture Voyage is a sweeping pictorial odyssey of the whaling culture wrapped around a very readable and meticulously edited condensation of Melville's classic. Though abridged, the book maintains the drama and continuity of the original novel and is heavily illustrated with more than 200 original photographs and more than 150 paintings, drawings, engravings and artifacts. "Moby-Dick: A Picture Voyage will 'open the floodgates of the wonder-world' of history, literature and art to adventurous readers of all ages. It captures the heart and soul of Melville's masterpiece and preserves the integrity and resonance of the text. Spinner Publications' fresh approach will delight Melville scholars, too, as it offers a panoramic view of the world of whaling through prints, artifacts and photographs… It brings to life New Bedford's whaling industry where men of all nations risked their lives harpooning whales from open boats on the high seas." ---Laurie Robertson-Lorant, Ph.D., author of "Melville: A Biography."
