2/17 - Have you read Moby-Dick or the Whale?

The Krueger Library is sponsoring a slide series celebrating the Book. The series is titled: The Book is Dead. Long Live the Book.

The first book of the series is Moby-Dick or the Whale, by Herman Melville. It was completed in 1851. "An epic of a literal and metaphysical quest, Moby-Dick belongs to no genre. Although charaters appear and disappear without explanation and the point of view changes, the book succeeds...although his contemporaries did not appreciate it....It was not until the 1920s that he [Melville] began to be recognized as one of the greatest American writers" - Benet's Reader's Encyclopedia

Moby-Dick or the Whale can be found in the WSU Krueger Library's Main collection with the following call numbers PS2384 or PS2380.
