Moby-Dick; or, The Whale (1851), the sixth book by American writer Herman Melville, is a sea story of Captain Ahab’s voyage in vengeful pursuit of a white whale, Moby Dick. Published in London in October and in New York the following month, the book was a commercial failure, out of print at the time of the author’s death in 1891, but its reputation rose during the twentieth century. D.H. Lawrence called it “the greatest book of the sea ever written.” Today it is considered one of the Great American Novels and a leading work of American Romanticism and the opening words, “Call me Ishmael,” form one of the most recognizable opening lines in Western literature.

Melville, Herman - Benito Cereno - Language: Spanish, Novel - Format: ePub, iSilo
En 1799, el capitán Amasa Delano ancló en la bahía de una isla desierta del litoral chileno. A la mañana siguiente apareció en el lugar un misterioso navío, el Santo Domingo. Las maniobras de éste hicieron sopechar que se trataba (More) de un barco en apuros, con lo que ordenó que se preparara un bote y acudió a la misteriosa nave para prestar su ayuda. El espectáculo que encontró fue sorprendente. Aquél era un barco de esclavos al que la tempestad y una epidemia habían diezmado. Ahora los marineros blancos convivían entre los negros en una situación adversa por la falta de provisiones y de oficiales y el extraño comportamiento del capitán del barco Don Benito.
