Life attitude as reflected in Moby Dick,英美文学论文 Introduction Herman Melville is best known as the author of one book, Moby Dick which is, critics have agreed, one of the world’s greatest masterpieces. He was a dedicated literary artist. Even though he knew that he was doomed to write a book like Moby Dick in his day, he just could not help himself.
