Hermannus Melville anno 1860.

Hermannus Melville (Novi Eboraci, 1 Augusti 1819; ibidem, 28 Septembris 1891) fuit scriba, nauta, cetarius, fabularum brevium scriptor, libellorum scriptor, mythistoriarum scriptor, peregrinationum scriptor, acroamata, et poeta Americanus. Saepe appellatur particeps Romanticismi obscuri. Illius primi tres libri populo gratissimi erant (primus liber plurimum divenditus est), sed post subitam prosperitatem litterariam decennio 184, pro illo populi favor decennio 185 magnopere imminuebat.

Mox post mortem, sua memoria paene omnino excidit (contra favorem populi Britannici illius pro mythistoriis marinis Decennio 189), sed Moby-Dick, mythistoria praelonga, saeculo vicensimo habebatur in uno ex operibus litterarum Civitatum Foederatarum et mundi summo artificio factis.

Parentes Allan et Maria Ganeswoort Melvill fuerunt. Tempore cognomen ad Melville mutatum est. Duodecim annos natus, patris orbus, munus exceptoris in mensa publica fungebatur. Deinde operarius fundo avunculi vivebat.

Ab Octobri mense 1830 ad Octobrem 1831, et ab Octobri 1836 ad Martium 1837, scholam frequentabat ubi linguis Graeca Latinaque studebat (Titus 2003:1, 4–10). . . . Ad tempus munus magistri ludi Massaciussetae exsequebatur. Anno 1839, ad Liverpolium profectus est in navi oneraria, Sancto Laurentio nomine, qua ad nautae officium implendum se locaverat. Nauta iterum anno 1842 in navi cetaria in Oceano Pacifico navigabat. Cum in navi Marquesas Marchionis attigissit, illam reliquerit. Tres hebdomades mense Iulio inter indigenas habitabat; posthaec ad Honolulu Havaiorum enavigavit, ubi diu permanebat. Plusquam duo annos inter insulas Oceani Pacifici post habitationem, domum rediit.

Moby-Dick mythistoria est eius magnum opus, saepe illud in uno ex gravissimis omnis temporis operibus litterarum habetur. Melville librum suo Nathanieli Hawthorne dedicavit.[1] Melville etiam scripsit Billy Budd, White-Jacket, Typee, Omoo, Pierre, The Confidence-Man, et alios libros variorum generum.

Bello Civili Americano confecto, vulgavit Battle Pieces and Aspects of the War, librum poematum qui a populo non bene acceptus est: ex 1200 exemplaribus impressis a Harper & Bros., decem post annos, solum 525 vendita sunt.[2]
