白鯨記(繁簡中英對照 / Traditional & Simplified Chinese / English)

Description

紀念梅爾維爾200歲冥誕， 特別推出繁、簡、英三語對照版本。 你知道風靡全球的咖啡店為什麼叫星巴克嗎？ 你知道海賊王裡的海賊船為什麼叫莫比迪克嗎？ 都是因為受到《白鯨記》（Moby Dick）這部傳奇小說的啟發！ 這是一本壞書，它出版第一年只賣出了五本。 這也是一本神作，它被譽為全美國最偉大的小說。 如果你受夠了小確幸的廢柴日常， 那就來閱讀一個男人和一條魚戰鬥的故事， 和書中人物一起熱血邁向偉大的航道吧！ 《白鯨記》的故事背景為十九世紀工業革命時期，當時煤氣與電力尚未普及，鯨魚油脂為照明設備的主要燃料，捕鯨業蓬勃興盛。 作者透過年輕水手以實瑪利（Ishmael）的視角，鉅細靡遺地描述了當時捕鯨業的相關細節，因此被後人戲稱為「捕鯨業的百科全書」。 此外，他也目睹了書中核心人物：亞哈船長，激進且悲劇的一生。這位老船長過去被水手間聞之色變的大白鯨莫比迪克（Moby Dick）咬斷了一條腿，他從此只為復仇而活，終其一生獵捕莫比迪克，最後甚至不惜同歸於盡。 《白鯨記》是巨人所指的一條偉大航道，論及它時，有人討論它異於多數小說的獨特體裁；有人則喜愛解讀書中無窮盡的隱喻，著迷於將政治寓言、自然書寫、宗教、哲學等對號入座。或者，你也可以只是看著老船長瘋魔般與巨獸搏鬥，感受百年前鯨尾拍打海面傳來的餘波震動。 閱讀《白鯨記》，無論你追尋的是什麼，偉大的航道絕對會讓你滿載而歸。
